Just posting my success story:
2023 BMC URS 2 converted from drop bars to flat.
I dislike drop bars as coming from a MTB background I also find drops useless when riding anything remotely difficult on my gravel bike.
I have been riding drop bars for 4 years (3 years road bike & 1 year this bike) so I feel like it's enough time to get a feel for drop bars.
I was very hesitant to do this as there are a lot of discouraging comments online.
All I can say is, give it a go & then you will know if it works for you.I love this bike even more now with flat bars & will not be riding drops again anytime soon
