Hi Tom...I am somewhat of a lurker too but have a few posts. I just changed the
handlebars on my 2 yr old AHH from the Grand Bois Randonneur
Bars from Compass/Bicycle Quarterly to the One-on-One Midge bar. I know this is

couple of different configurations and thought the albatross bars
I really enjoy the Albas on my AHH. Switched from noodles after about 500
miles. Have over a thousand on the Albas and enjoy them more and more. You
may experiment with not much cost. I fine tinkering with the fit part of
the enjoyment. I also trust in Kevin.
Congrats and have fun,
