my comment was about riding with brakes and on the hoods.... i ride brake(less) on my track bike. and of course there is climbing ON my track bike because i commute daily with it. on longer rides near my house, i will exclusively use my road bike....for obvious reasons...

If you're really part of the MTB bar camp, the most logical thing to use would be a flat bar with some bar ends. But then you're encroaching on bullhorn territory, so you might as well just get those.
my risers aren't emo-cut short.... they are wide(r) than my drops.....
