For me, depends on what kind of riding you do. I have/have had noodles,
moustache, bullmoose, albatross, and albastache (all riv models - though I
stopped using the noodles and moustaches because they felt a bit too
compact after a while). I love the albatrosses for cruising around and some
"Choco-curious" just made my day. Thank you!

I had Albas on the Sam and switched over to 48 Noodles. For that bike the
Noodles feel right, but I think it's because I'm so used to drops. That
said, I've always been a bit Choco-curious, and am fascinated by the
proposition of a Wavie on the Sam...

I've got Albatross, Billies and 48cm Noodles currently installed on three
bikes. Love them all, I do see the Billie as an improvement over the
Albatross and love the forward grip position which I used quite a lot. I
wouldn't mind a wider Noodle. Will mentioned a prototype 54cm Noodle in an
Johnny,
Your Saluki is a great looking, well put together bike. I won't jump into
handlebar preferences (been using Noodles for years).
Eric asked about your VO skewers.
I purchased a set in silver when they were first offered - based solely on
their appearance. I think they tighten adequately
Yes the Albatross. I love that bar. It not only looks gorgeous, it just
feels right. I replaced my noodles with it on my Cross Check and never
looked back. Agree with Leah about "bird in flight" that's a very apt
description.
I have Bosco on my Cheviot, and it's great bar for that bike,
I had Albatross on my Betty Foy. Loved them but wanted them to come back
towards me a little bit. The Billie Bar on My Platypus (my #1 absolute
eternal favorite bar and bike) does exactly that, and it flares in the most
ergonomic way imaginable. When I’m climbing, I slide my hands forward and
I find the albatross bar to be very comfortable, partly because of the
greater rise than say, the billie. I notice there is a 4 degree difference
in sweep between those 2 bars. Is that a substantial difference? and if
so, how? I've not tried the billie so I'm curious if anyone has directly
I love my Choco bars. Perfect for me because it just is.

The only thing I could see would improve on the albastache is if it tapered
in a way that would allow either road levers (like it uses now) and the
bends and mountain levers on the ends allowing the user to decide what
setup they wanted. I saw a moustache variant that was made that way. I
I'm primarily a road rider on a Roadeo. I started with a Dream Bar,
switched to a Mark's Bar, then a Noodle. Then I tried a Compass Maes
Parallel. Now I'm back to the Noodle and have determined it's the best for
me for now. #teamnoodle

@Michael if I am going with drops I am for sure going with the Noodle. That

Agree. I have Albastache bars on my new Riv-ish Custom, and they're really
good. I had Moustache bars and then Noodles on my actual Riv custom over
the past 22 years, and think these are the right bars for at least the next
decade.

Looks like a rad setup, I'd be eager to try someone else's albastache rig
before taking the plunge.
What do you think of the Velo Orange skewers? I've been eying a set myself.

It was fun to fantasize about the possibilities if I had won, but now back

Thanks everyone; I'm overwhelmed. Got the totally surprise call from Dave just
as I was heading out for a bike ride on my Friday -- which I'm still on. Will
