I too have derailleur cable splitters (from Bruce Gordon) on my All-Rounder. I have not swapped bars as often as I thought I would, but it is nice to know it is easy to do. I set mine up with the type of front cable hanger that clamps to the stem (rather than in the headset stack) and with canti straddle cable yokes (basic DiaCompe ones) that easily unclip from the straddle cables. Since the top tube cable guides are slotted (and I assume yours on the Atlantis are as well) I can swap bars by simply unclipping the straddle yokes, unthreading the adjuster from the rear cable hanger, removing the downtube shifter boss cable stops, and removing the stem. Since the stem mounted cable hanger is positioned down against the top of the headset, it determines the stem insertion, and there are no readjustments when putting it all back together (except the rear hanger adjuster).
I've not had any cable fraying issues in almost 2 years of use.
