John, I ride Noodles and 61/62cm frames too. I have 44cm Noodles on 4 bikes but 46 on my Surly LHT, a poor man's Atlantis. For years I have thought of pulling the 46s and trading here for some 44s. But lately the 46s have been feeling rather pleasant. I'm not sure why. The LHT has a custom fork making the bike low trail. Jan Heine has suggested that low trail bikes are handled better with more narrow bars. But for whatever reason I have settled into the 46s. The 44s on my go-faster bikes feel more sleek or streamlined. Perhaps for me, at 60yrs old 6ft 185lbs, the difference is minutiae.
