Made a post one here a couple of days ago about a track bike coaster build. What are your guys thoughts on mustache bars ?

I used a version of them (Soma Sparrow) and liked them just fine, but it was for a very specific use case. I had a road bike frame that was definitely too big for me, and regular drop bars had me stretched out too far. The sparrow bar solved that, but I only road it for commuting on relatively flat roads.

My girlfriend would love it

I ran moustache for over a year and it was generally fine . I mounted my levers like so. I found them to be comfy for a while. They tend to be an aggressive bar unless you can get the stem up high like mine. What else.. a pain for bar bags and shifters but that wouldn’t be a problem for you .

They look better than they work (for me). I’ve been smitten with them for more than a decade and I now feel like I am convinced they simply are not for me and I have had this talk / intervention with myself before.

I have had them on fancy bikes and junkers. The original is not enough handlebar for me, my hands get cagey on them. I can say I do prefer an elongated musto like the albastache though even those are kinda never great for me either.

I tend to ride on gravel and bike paths and have a ride range of 5-50 or so miles and if I was riding anywhere more than 10-15 I know my hands would get so pissed they’d buy a pack of cigarettes to punish the rest of me.

All of that said I have at least one pair in the garage and idgaf I will do it again. Your mileage may vary.

Mustache bars are a solid choice for a unique and stylish look on your track bike coaster build! Plus, they offer a variety of hand positions for a comfortable ride. Rock those bars with confidence!
