Got rid of my drop bars a while back on my RB-2 to opt for these simworks bars for a more upright position and though I do love them and they make sense for my kind of riding- man I still think about going back all the time. Thoughts?
Despite the more aggressive riding position, I like drop bars because I have a few different hand positions. Drop bars all the way for me.

keep the drops and go wide on the n+1

I’ve given up on the idea of having just one bike to do it all. Gotta have one with drops to go fast and a comfier one for the commute/pub/errands rides. And a goofy n+1 project to tinker with. The holy trinity.

Personally, I’m all about alt bars, never liked drops.

Looks way better with the drops

I find a dropbar with a little flare feels more comfy. Consider one with less drop also.

Drop bars all the way, the upright shit is for grannies.

As you age the answer becomes very clear. Trust me….I’m old. Drop bars eventually become a problem. Would have picked the drops 15 years ago.
