I have always loved the drops, and almost all my adult bikes have had them. I guess it's partly because I came to love biking during the '70s bike boom, and that's how the bikes were set up.
So I got comfortable on those. Then I tried some more-or-less Alba-type bars (on a nice Schwinn 5-speed) and discovered I really didn't like them. I suspect the reason has less to do with what I'm used to than that I'm a pianist, and it bugs me to keep my hands in one place for any period of time. I need the change of positions, it seems.
