They sort of look like Nitto Albatross bars. In that position the road brakes levers for drop bars don't look or feel right. So I will have to find another alternative that won't interfere with the multiple hand positions that mustache bars allow. Inverse brake levers won't work because I'm using barcons. I'm trying to figure out if the Guidonett type levers might work.
