Something new and different you say? I'm working on a funky mustache bar build right now. I mean, real funky. Might give you some inspiration (or it might convince you not to go with mustache bars. ). Basically, I used MTB bar end extensions at the ends of the mustache bars. The bar end extensions are pointed in toward the headset, roughly parallel to the ground (a la the old Scott handlebars). I then mounted DiaComp aero brake levers at the ends of the mustache bars, and a grip shift on the end of the bar end extension (though I suppose you could probably use a bar end shifter there instead). With any luck, I'll be able to post a couple preview photos later tonight. Like I said, real funky, but it looks like it's going to be a fun ride.
