Reiterating what others have said about your Atlantis. It's a beauty! Nicely
thought out details.
Some food for thought: I recently converted the bars on my Atlantis from drops
to Albatross. Gives me enough options to reposition my wandering hands and have
my 65+ year old torso at 45 degrees t
The fender spacers make me really happy. Great idea, great execution, and
just a beautiful hidden detail.
I wouldn't change the bars, either. I have moustache bars on two bikes,
both with slightly short top tubes (58cm) for my height. Hard to retrofit a
new top tube on an Atlantis! I like them,
I LOVE those fender spacers !

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments about my bike. I spent a LOT of
time looking at everyone else's Rivendells trying to figure out what I
wanted to do. So it's really an amalgamation of everyone else's ideas.
Except for the fender spacers. They were my idea. If anyone is interested
in try
What a great looking built. I can see why you are moving carefully on any
changes.
When making bar changes, I get the new one in hand before I decide on a
stem. An assessment of where you would have your hands for most riding and
the difference of elevation considerations will give you some poi
Nice Atlantis and it looks uber comfortable!

Holy crap that's a nice build! Yes, you're at your shortening limit stem-wise
so no Moustache for you, but you have plenty of room for Albatross and such-as
if you ever want to try it. I'm about your size and tend to "buy big" as well:
I like big, roomy frames that can take a pullback bar withou
Dang, that's a gorgeous bike with some awesome details like the fender spacers.
Well done!

FWIW: Your bars look like Noodles. I replaced my 46 cm Noodles with 42s,
then those with 42 cm Maes Parallel clones from Velo Orange. Noodles are
nice, but man! The Parallels are just dandy! 42s on the "road bike for
dirt. I like 38s or so on my Riv Roads. I ride 57s to 60s c-c.)
Parallels must ab
I have to say that your Atlantis is beautiful; certainly, those are the
nicest fender spacers I've seen!
Back to the M bar on my Hon Solo: I ride most with my hands in or at the
curves, switching for relief to the hoods; rarely at the ends.

I've been looking at the original moustache bars because you can find them
at a few places for under $60. Here's an added consideration for me. I'm in
my 60s and I'm fairly short... 5' 6.5" (down from about 5' 8"). I ride a
skinny tire 54.5 cm Atlantis which is now as big a frame as I can handle
When you say moustache, do you mean original moustache, or new moustache
(Albastache)? Either way, I echo most others in saying a shorter stem is in
order. Originals are narrower and more aggressive, so an even shorter stem
may be in order. I love my new moustache, but I shifted from the Albatro
My problem with Moustache bars is the brake levers. You can only run them
flat-ish, in line with the bars, which places the levers too high. For me,
I found them to be too unergonomic and uncomfortable.
