There are some inconsistencies in the information regarding riding position with mustache bars. I know it's supposed to be used with high short stems so you are upright, but I've seen plenty of people doing 3-5cm below saddle level like with roadie bars. Then I saw this.

Kinda like drop position on a roadie bar. (elbow 90 deg, with hump upper back) ... Lance's setup was kinda low too. I guess I really need to try one. (if I can find one)

P.S. I haven't confirmed. ... Is that picture computer generated? Looks plenty old picture to me, but with all that paintshops I can't be sure.
