We're all a tad different I suppose. The tops of my Noodles are actually a bit
higher than the top of my saddle, so the drops are a bit below. With that
arrangement I spend most of my life on the drops, have plenty of power and no
back pain. I don't feel top heavy or tippy, and that's on a 62 cm Hilsen with
a 50mm stem.

Nice bikes, but I am curious how the first one feels with the drop bars so
high. I've tried drop bars level with saddle and, except for those on my SS
29er, which has such a long tt that I am far more stretched out, found that I
felt awkwardly high and tippy, and, second, found I couldn't generate enough
power compared to being more bent over.
Wouldn't Albatross or, perhaps, widely flared dirt drops, be better than
standard drops for this bar position?

Plenty of Riv bits on this old Trek, with more to come - including the
Resurectio decals. I'll take better photos when it's complete, and add
a full component description. The idea is to transfer all the bits to
a Rivendell frame when the stars align. You'll notice an unusual (but
quite handy) placement for the Acorn two-strap bag. The strap width
did not fit the Avocet saddle, so I thought hmmm... This would also
work for any of the small saddle bags/bar bags Riv sells I suppose. I
really like the Nitto R-15 rack. I have the Boxy Rando for Mark's rack
ready to go.

And here's the latest "All-Rounder" version of my other old Trek.
Evolving slowly, but just about perfect now.
