Ha! I lasted about 200 miles, then I said F*ck these damn things. I got a set of the Soma urban pursuit bars, some Tektro TT levers, and couldn't be happier. I just couldn't get used to the moustache bars. I kept wishing they had some flare on the ends, and less sharp of a curve. But then again, they're made for narrower folk - not 54" shoulder sasquatch like me.
The Soma UP bars are nice, since I get a few comfortable positions, and they're awesome for climbing hills.
I have ergo drops on my other road bikes, and recently put flared salsa drops on my 'cross/mt bike.
