Giving up on the Drops

He might have fallen foul of the inappropriate avatar* police. 🙂

*Which I quite liked. 😁

I've noticed that too. Surely people check when they reply to someone's query that they are still around.......obviously not.

Indeed, he’s posted twice since 2015, once in early 2018 and once in early 2021…maybe he’ll reply in early 2024

As with other replies, I very rarely use the drops yet appreciate being able to change hand position from the hoods to the tops; I previously used butterfly handlebars and found them very comfortable on long rides. My bike is stored in a narrow entry and I find straight bars an obstacle to walk past.

Time for an update @Muddyfox?

Still on flats or have you tried drops again.

Must admit I've been a drop bar fan since I was 10.

I still have the Dawes Kara~Kum with butterfly bars that i originally bought when i sold the Ridgeback Panorama with the drops on, i like the butterfly bars so i've never felt the need to have another bash with drops
