I have albatross bars on my Rivendell and I like them but from what you describe I wouldn't recommend them. They make you sit up and the drop back towards you by a lot. I had to change my stem from a 100 to a 120 just to get cockpit room.

I just ordered Map/Ahearne bars for my next bike build (quill stem 25.4). They have the same shape as my all time favorite bar the FSA Metropolis (31.8). Hopefully they will put me in a sportier position.

From your needs there are very few bars that would fit your needs. I would rethink the interrupter levers and just buy straight bar levers and then you would have a choice of upright bars. Velo Orange has such a great selection of bars there must be one that looks good to you.
