You have to read what I said in context.

First, this thread started in the Road Forum, not the hybrid forum.

Second, the discussion related to how it was stupid to race with flat bars on a road racing frame with deep sectioned wheels.

The comment you chose to highlight was in response to the post to the effect that at least your not a sheep.

Are you honestly taking the position that it makes sense to take a $3000 carbon frame, put Zipp 404's on it, then put flat bars on it, for the specific purpose of racing said bike?

Or are you just trying to be argumentative?

I stand by my position that it's stupid to put flat bars on a bike in that context, just for the the purpose of avoiding "being a sheep"

I can't imagine any reasonable person would take significant issue with that.
