I have albatross bars on both of my bikes - a Betty Foy and a 1978 Schwinn Super Le Tour, and have used them on bikes no longer with me. I have ridden 1,200 km brevets with them, including PBP. I came to the realization that I rarely, if ever, used the drops or hooks anymore and could have sawed the bars off and never missed them. Of course, I used drops when I was racing, but that was long ago and entirely different riding. It pains me to see recreational riders on racing bikes with drop bars too low, their hands on the tops and elbows locked. For me upright bars are far more practical.
