I’m still obsessed with drop bars. I like the feel and the riding posture. But I just decided to work on a project with sweep back bars to dip my toes in your world.

I love riding fast on all surfaces, flat bars just aren’t practical for my gravel bike. I especially enjoy riding single track on drop bars. The challenge of choosing the right lines and improving my bike handling skills has been very rewarding.
