I agree with Scott. Had the Choco been out when I bought my Albastache, I would have seriously considered them. Since I was changing from Albatross bars, it would have saved me buying road brake levers. That said, I believe they come back farther than the albastache so that may cause the same problems with bar end shifters that I had with the albatross. They occasionally hit my knees when turning.
