Dont do it. Get a wald, worlds better quality.

I have a silver Wald basket I'm not using?

amirite?

my housemate has that exact rack and it is great. I had a wald and thought it was shit (even after making new struts)

New walds have much better struts.

Never ridden bars like that but surely those levers can't be comfortable?

Yeah that's right...i was clearly half asleep. My bad.

I concur that new walds have much better struts and bar mounts - rock solid.

Why?
When you're on the ends they work like a regular brake lever and you can place your hands on the inside for a more stretched out position, - though it would make it hard to brake.

They seem very horizontal, I feel like they would work better pointed towards the floor?

Sweet

No shit..
The setup was quite common on early hybrids. My girlfriend had a similar setup on the mixte for a while.
The hoods work like this:

Has anyone used a mustache bar with STI levers?

i like step 3: Click the button.

enjoying this atm. got a shittier concor to put on to make the build <£200

gutted it wont fit mudguards. may have to get some raceblades or something shit for the rear. I don't think it can even take a bigger front tyre either

Hmm — the levers on the "Thunderfist Cykler" would give a totally different hand position to a moustache bar, that would require rotating wrists / hands outwards. From these angles it looks like the levers are rotated almost 45º compared to how you'd have them set up on a moustache bar.

Top style points but looks uncomfortable.

Raceblade long are better than you'd think

Giving my Graham Weigh a second life after it was dropped as my primary road bike

Very fun, perfect build.
