I was running the Soma Oxford bar (essentially the same as the Albatross) on my Midnight Special and wanted something a little wider and less swept back but still with some rise. I put the Sycip JJJ bar on and have been really liking it so far. It has similar sweep to the Singles Bar and is a little wider, but not by much, and has 20mm rise. I've found it a pretty nice balance between on road comfort and control on rougher terrain. I'm using ESI chunky grips on them.
