Aaron: I do have Boscos on my other bike, a too-small-for-me Rock Hopper, and they work great. Because the Hilsen is sized right for me, I didn't need the extreme rise that comes with the boscos, and I wanted to try a different bar for variety. Lucky for me, the Albas turned out to be just the ticket.

In addition, the forward crook on the Albas makes for a good sprint/aero position when you just wanna fly. I rode around all day yesterday and it was great riding upright--it just seems like you *see* more. Big win for mindful cycling.
