Yeah, I've got like 3 inches or so of drop, and I often wonder if the B17 is right, or whether I should have gone with one a little narrower. My new bike will have a little less drop, however, so for now I'm just riding the B17, and will see how it feels on the new bike in a slightly more relaxed geo. Everything I've read suggested B17 was for more upright postures, and narrower (like Team Pro) was better for an aggressive drop. I'm really anxious to see how this feels on the new bike. If I finally decide to try something else on the new bike it'll probably be the Berthoud Aspin or Aravis.
