Clayton, I'd probably need the zero offset stem to fit noodles on the current 59 Atlantis. Obviously, the 70 degree head angle can get the bars a lot closer, but only by having the bars much higher than I want). Yes, it could be done for me, but only just. The 55 Atlantis, with its 59cm top tube would fit easier, but I would only want that much standover if I was setting it up more like a mountain bike (it'd be great with a dirt drop and wavie bars).
For uprights, it would really depend on which bar I chose. They have such varying amounts of rise, drop, sweep, and forward extension (or lack thereof). In any case, I'm not arguing that no one can put drops on these and be happy (just not me). I'm saying that it's obvious that they are meant for swept back bars, especially for someone who only just fits the pbh range for their size. There's nothing wrong with that, and if some folks like their short reach bars and ultra short stems, more power to you. There's also nothing wrong with the rest of us.
