I have had excellent results with the albatross bar. I use the ergon grips for more upright crusing, and the most forward part of the curve (with cloth tape) for climbing, wind, or faster moments. I'm using downtube shifters to maximize the hand positions between the bar end and the forward curves. The smoother the brake level clamps, the better. I can ride these bars all day.
