I found that I would swap them for the bike based on what I used the bike for that day. It took a grand total of 3minutes for me to change out the bars on my atlantis. I enjoyed it for a while until I bought the romulus and had one bike with albatross bars(the atlantis) and one bike with noodles (the rom). I guess in short - if you have the option - get two bikes. If you don't - get one and do the splitters - you won't regret it. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
