Thanks for the laugh Chris... Yes, I have heard terrible things about yellow bikes, particularly those with S&S couplers. If I'm too troubled, yes... I know you and a few other people that would be happy to help rid me of the affliction!
I commuted exclusively using a Moustache bar on my old Trek 520. It was fine for the commute, but if the rides stretched much past 50 or 60 miles, my wrists were uncomfortable. Once winter training rides started stretching into the hundreds in preparation for TransIowa, I switched to a Noodle bar. I like the variable positions on Noodle bar: thumbs on the inside of the first bend in the bars toward the brake levers, on the flatness of the top of the bar, on the hoods, and once in a very rare moment in the drops.
