I am building up a road frame, and I like to ride fast, but I don't like drop bars much. This is for a number of reasons, namely that my wrists seem to be uncomfortable in any position (especially on the hoods or corners, where they seem to be cocked at an angle relative to my forearms), and also that I have scoliosis and cannot stand bending far enough over to use the drops.

I don't like the butterfly/trekking bars, the hand positions are either too far away or too close. I am interested in moustache bars, and also in different bar-end attachments, and also possibly in bullhorn/TT/"fixie" bars.

At the moment, I have some flat bars, and I might switch them over to the new bike from my old one. They are standard mountain bars, and I have them set up so that they are at the same level as my seat. Any lower than that, and my back is curved down too far and it starts to ache. I will probably add accessories to them if I keep them.
I have seen some Cane Creek bar ends that look interesting: http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Bar+Ends.aspx

Can anyone share their setups for multi-position bars? I'm interested in any suggestions that I have not thought of, so long as the bars remain at the level of the seat. Can anyone with moustache bars chime in and let me know if they really stretch you out when you ride the centers?
