I own an Atlantis with noodle handlebars and absolutely love them. My commute is 28 miles round trip so comfort is vital. I have used the Albatross bar and moustache on another touring frame. The albatross bars are comfortable for shorter rides but for longer ones I prefer the noodle. With the albatross I sit more upright and it places more weight on my seat which I found uncomfortable. I switch the moustache and albatross often on bike #2 but I never touch the Atlantis with the noodle bar. For what it's worth... Bill
