Curious about Tracklocross bikes....
I notice that in Tracklocross, it seems like the majority of riders use flat bars, while in ss 'Cross, you still see mostly drop bars (at least it seems to me). Just curious, is there a distinct handling advantage to using flat bars on a bike like that, for that sort of competition? I've ridden both flat and drop-bar singlespeeds offroad a lot - I like 'em both - but I've never ridden a fixed gear bike so I don't know how that compares.
