My longest rides have been ~75 miles on these bars. Mustache bars seem to work best on bikes with short top tubes and short stems as the bends reach so far ahead of the point at which the engage the stem. I have had a good time on short TT bikes and a bad time on long TT bikes. If you can find a bike with a short top tube, they offer both an aero position with a nice, big flat spot on the brake hoods to rest your weight as well as a 'sunday outing' position on the parallel ends.
