Based on its reputation, I'm considering the Noodle for my new Mercian build, which is going to be used for both sport and light touring. So I guess I should get a 'touring' bar, whatever that is. I've never been that picky about bars, but I think the upturned rando shape might bug me. I've probably logged most of my miles with Cinelli 66.
