I originally built mine up with Albatross bars & it was great. I never considered drop bars, but I am sure it's great with drops. I like drop bars, but like a lot of people I rarely (if ever) ride in the drops! So to me it's sort of a waste, because I can still brake adequately most of the time while on the hoods, in a panic situation it's less than ideal. For this reason & because I ran my XO-1 with moustache bars for 23 years I switched to Albastache bars. I don't imagine I'll be switching bars anymore, the Albastache on the Atlantis is a sweet combo. I really love the squirtyness of the 26" wheels & the Albastache bars just accentuate how guickly you can jump up on the pedals to hit a gap in traffic or catch a traffic light before it turns, etc. Both things I loved about my XO, but now with the Atlantis in a more refined, evolved package.
