Thanks. It's not an Albastache bar, though, just a regular Nitto mustache bar 
from the old days.

The whole Campy Ergo 11 to Shimano 9 index-matching thing, once I learned about 
it, solved a number of problems and created some interesting opportunities: 

• Road levers natively matched to cantilever brakes (Campy CX) for proper 
leverage and modulation (tricky to do with Shimano stuff back then).
• Cassettes with more than 9 cogs weren't clearing the end of the chainstay 
cleanly.
• Ergo brake levers don't pivot in like STI, essential on a mustache bar where 
IN becomes DOWN (with STI you'd risk shifting every time you hit the brakes).
• Placement of the Ergo thumb lever is just right on the bottom side of the 
mustache bar.
• Reasonably clean cable routing.
