It's pretty...but I have too many bikes and too much replication. I really only regularly use 4, and one is the tandem.
If you're curious, you could try what I did. I used a tall stem with a short extension. It works great for me. I'm in love. Last time I tried mustache bars, I hated them, and three are three reasons I can't tease apart: they were low, they were far out in front, and they were Nashbar (not Nitto) bars.
