I feel like I'm the only one who thinks if nothing else, Scott drop-ins looked cool. Maybe because I had a poster of Lemond riding them in my room as a child.

Having said that I agree that the bar is stupid 
. Like I don't get the point.
I do own two sets of carbon "aero" road drops flat tops and I like them. I don't know if it actually makes me faster in races or not but they make me feel fast and placebo matters.
EDIT: @seau grateau there is a loss of functionality in going to an integrated bar/stem combo, but they're also really cool. Plus if you stay healthy year in and year out your fit shouldn't really be that dynamic. I've been lusting after a Ritchey Solostreem for years now but they're too expensive and I can't warrant it.

I remember seeing one come into the shop and standing awe of it. The epitome of B. S. O.

Hate as you will. Here are some previous lives and their various qualms.
My old Univega clown bike conversion that I built up and changed colors from blue with yellow trim to a maroon type red color. The top tube was a little high and didn't wanna bash her vag on the TT. Since then, it has been stolen from her work and we got her a new single speed.
Still pretty clownie This is my Paké frame before I put the wheels back onto the lady's olde bike (black and yellow taped spoke says \"Caution! Don't touch, this bike is coated in contact poison" to avoid getting it stolen and such(dumb, lol))
Here she is with my old short bars. pretty close to after I was injured and built this wheelset in bed. the bars were practical for tight spaces in traffic , but not so comfy on my upper and lower back(I've got more back issues than guns and ammo) (and I am currently looking for higher risers bars/touring bars/ a fork /a stem with more spacers. I have some wider risers for now, but I still have to bend quite a bitband strain myself(frame isn't too small)

Edit: Here! I found it. My old Univega, back when it was way clownie clown clowned out,(and much too small for me);before I got my Pakémon and re-painted the uni for my partner.
(Oops. I just helped someone else revive an old thread. Sorry, I wasn't looking at recent dates.)

Decided to check OfferUp for bikes a second ago and saw this blast from the past. Anyone remember these ugly ass Puma bikes? I'm almost tempted to buy it.
