My thoughts are the same as [MENTION=114373]northbend[/MENTION]'s. Maybe because I also have skinny and weak arms. My commuter bike has mustache bars. I used a tall and short-extension stem. The bars allow me to vary the reach of my position but not the height, and that's good. I rarely use the drops of drop bars. But yes, there really aren't that many positions. They look like they would have as many as drops, but they don't. Some claim they can grab the hoods in the same way as on drops, but I can't figure that out.
