Fitz is ridiculous. That's my dream custom which I keep talking myself out of
because the need-to-dollar ratio - I already have great bikes - never lines up
in my brain. But want!!!

Another approach if you use MTB brakes and shifters (i.e. 22.2mm bar
diameter) and want to switch between a flat/cruiser type bar and drop bars
is to use the Soma Fab Gator Drop Bar. Depending on the other handlebar
used there will likely be more cable/housing in one application than needed
Same type setup (on a Fitz). It has (top) tube shifters and centerpull

about 5 minutes.

That's compelling setup to try. Luckily, my Boscos take me 80% there in
terms of riding positions offered.

Let me elucidate. You can buy a very reliable used car for $10K. The
average new car cost in 2018 was $35K, per a quick Google (vi). If you
shell out for 3 new Rivs at $4K/each -- you get the picture. And $4K is
pretty generous.
Where do all the deep pockets come from? That's 1 answer.
On Wed,
The deep pockets come from driving old cars no more miles than necessary.
With 3 bikes (+ folder/beater) I drive -- what, 1K miles/year?. Even paying
for gas and insurance (!) and repairs on an old car that I basically let my
17 year old daughter use, I have plenty $ left over for bike stuff.
An Atlantis is a perfect candidate for a drop/upright easy switch-out and
provided yours has DT shifter bosses (and you're OK using down tube
shifters) then Shoji and Benz have it right. Seriously folks -- buy another
bike (?) where did all the deep pockets come from???

I frequently switch among 3-4 kinds of alt-bars I have. Sometimes I swap
the stem as well. It takes me 5 mins give or take to swap the handlebar.
If I have to switch the stem as well, add another 2 mins. I have Ergon
grips, which are very easy to remove. The process just involves
Hi Mark,
I and others have done quick-change cockpits.
On my Hunqapillar, it was easy to unclip the canti-straddle cable. Set the
brake cable lengths on multiple cockpits to-be at the same straddle
heights, and there's little adjustment necessary.
Easiest would be to set up down-tube
