From drops to flat bar bike

[MartianDestiny]

Channlluv- moustache bars look like drop bars that have been run over by a steam roller. The drops are slightly down and very out to the sides, rather than very down and slightly out to the sides. But I agree, it sounds like you are locking your elbows, and it's a good idea to check your fit and your posture before you change bits of the bike.

They also make "off road drop bars" that are somewhere in-between traditional drops and moustache bars.

(haven't ridden them and can't vouch myself, but sounds like a good concept)
