Has anyone ever bought a roadbike...

[Keith Oates]

I own and ride MTB's and enjoy them but for me the Roadie bikes with drops are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Paulus]

I moved from flat bars to drops about twenty years ago after about twenty years on flats and I thought then that why hadn't I done this years ago. I found the drops instantly to my liking and never looked back. These days if I ride a flat barred bike I find it most strange.

Drops are narrower which is an advantage when cycling between lanes of stationary cars.

/Raises hand.

Bought a second hand steel framed ten speed for £50 and was hooked.

I still ride my hybrid down the shops etc, but it feels so pedestrian by comparison...

...powered by flapjack, or maybe 'drop' scones...not 'flat' bars from a packet...

I still like the straight back position that comes with high rise (chopper style) bars.
