In my eyes, a flat bar gives the bike a cleaner look. But it’s not a beauty contest.

Whatever is more comfortable to you when riding. You can’t see your bike while riding so who cares what it looks like

It’s a cool bike and looks cool either way too. Which one handles best for your needs?

Drops will always look cooler than flats because it evokes the style of high intensity cycle sport. That being said I personally feel like flat bars actually lend themselves better to gravel riding. (I still have a bike with drop bars tho)

Drops. Definitely drops.

Drops have better ergonomics, if you’re going to be spending hours of saddle time each ride it’s something to think about.
Looks don’t matter.

Flats. But that doesn’t matter, you need what’s more comfortable for you. (I hate drops)

Flats look way cooler but only because they add color. The bike in general looks very bland, theres no contrast anywhere

Drops, would look even better if you found bar tape that kinda matches the red accents of various parts on it too imo.

Get yourself some purple bar tape and get the best of both worlds.
Drops aren’t as clean looking, but man will your wrists thank you!

would you really leave your comfort on the bike to an informal poll of strangers? What fits you better?
