Mustache Rides ~ Kit & Options
Mustache bars are traditional bicycle racing handlebars from the late 19th century. A mustache bar front end is extremely ergonomic, offering a number of hand positions available to eliminate soreness and fatigue, including a power position that is more efficient on climbs and in traffic, and a laid-out aero position that cannot be had on drop bars without a tri-bike extension. A mustache bar conversion kit turns a hardtail mountain bike into a sturdy city bike, a road bike into a classic speedster, a singlespeed or "fixie" into a track/street toy, and, when combined with a 6 to 9 inch wheel conversion (see above), produces what may be the best all-around bicycle for touring or commuting on pavement, dirt, fire roads, smooth and moderately rooted singletrack, and rails to trails conversions.
