Just wondering why you want to ride on the drops. On my drop-barred bikes, I spend 99.9% of the time on the tops. I move my hands around a lot to avoid numbness, but hardly ever ride on the drops.
I have "upright" bars on one bike, but overall I prefer the variety of positions on traditional bars. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Mar 15, 2017, at 7:24 AM, Derek Lawrence <dereklawre...@mac.com> wrote: > > Since I bought this Bleriot frame off the list, I thought I would put a > picture up of my build.
