I don't like drops but I went from traditional MTB handlebars with 10 degrees of backsweep to Albatross bars and absolutely hated them. I've tried them on numerous bikes with different lengths of top-tubes and stems but nothing mattered....I still hated them. Having the grips parallel to the top-tube is just the most unnatural thing I can imagine on a bike and I also don't like the pullback. The only place that was comfortable was on the forward bends which is approximately where they would be on MTB bars. I spent two years reading Grant's praise for the Albatross bar and those sentiments seem to be echoed by better than 95% of the people who try them so I guess I'm just an outlier. The only Riv bar I think I would like is the Bullmoose and I think I would probably love those. Alas, my bike has 1 1/8" threadless fork (which I actually prefer to quills) and threadless bullmoose bars are few and far between, not to mention very expensive.
