I have tried albatrosses and boscos on a variety of bicycles, as well as basically flat horizontal bars (Nitto Jitensha) as well as bullmooses on a variety of bikes, Sam Hillborne, Betty Foy, Bombadil, Clementine, a couple of different kind of Roscoes. The only really comfortable bike with uprights is the Clementine with bullmoose boscos. I have been riding drops since 1970 (I turn 62 this year) and it could be that I am just used to them. It could also be that my body proportions are several standard deviations from the norm - I am 6’ tall with a 83.5 PBH - short legs, long torso - the upright bars just seem too close - I find myself gripping the bars forward of the brake levers. I like the flat bars on some bikes until I start doing distance. I am currently converting my Bombadil from bullmoose to randonneur drops.
