I was specifically fascinated by double top tube configuration. That said, I do think that reach back bar at the bottom makes so much sense, every bike (that is not made for lightweight) should have it 😊 This would've been my pick if Appaloosa hadn't existed.
My two cents on handlebar talk going on here. I've tried Albastache and Choco-NORM on my road bike and MTB. I like them much better than their original handlebars (drop and flat). I've decided that I don't need the farther reach that Albastache offers. This is probably because I have a shorter than average torso for my height (5'7", 81 PBH). I know it also depends on the top tube length. Fundamentally I need two positions on the handlebar. Relaxed and power. The swept back part of ChocoNorm gives me near upright position. This is as relaxed as it gets. I love that option. When I need to use more power, I go to the corners. When this handlebar is flipped (i.e., ends are lower than the flat/middle) the corner curves are at a very ergonomic angle (at least to my arms and wrists). ChocoNORM is a genius design for someone with shorter torso and who is not optimizing for speed.
