I'd love more of a swept back handlebar that gives me the option of full, up-right, cruiser-style riding with another lower, more forward hand position for tucking in out of the wind. Does anyone find that they use their bars that way. A lot of the swept back bars that I really like the look of also look like they may only offer one hand position.
Flip an Albatross bar, and you have one that has some nice aero positions, Especially if you have Ergon grips on it. The flair on the Ergons makes for good elbow pads when you are using the front of the flipped bar in a tuck.
