I had Albatross bars on my Protovelo when I first got it. I loved them. The more I rode the bike with other people, and the longer distances I rode, the more dissatisfied I became. In other words, when I began to use the bike for different purposes (riding harder for longer), the Albatross bars weren't helping me do what I wanted - Noodles are very comfortable. The other thing I found is that the A'bars were working my quads more than other leg muscles.
I have Albatross bars now on my Kogswell errand bike, and like 'em a lot. So, I think they are good for distances, but I didn't like 'em for more spirited riding. Esteban San Diego, Calif.
