I have been wanting to change out the cockpit from the Albatross that came with the bike to an Albastache. I used to have a Mustache bar and loved it. Unfortunately, the discretionary funds are not there right now (home repairs, etc). As a temporary measure, I thought about flipping the Albatross bar over to see if I could get in the ballpark. Was hoping to squeeze in a summer of Albastache-ish riding before having to plunk down the money for a real setup since bars, levers and stem come to over $200. My initial measurements indicate that the drop would be about an inch lower (similar to the old mustache bars I used to have) and the handles would come back about an extra inch (potential problem with bar ends and knees).
Has anyone ever tried this? If so, please let me know if it is a reasonable alternative or just a big waste of time.
