this interest me since I’m thinking of going the other way from a hybrid to a drop bar……perhaps I’m too old. Lol
Yeah, I think that is what I said.
I am 68. I lost about 15 percent of my body weight about 12 years ago. Before then I really did not like drop bars, used the drops maybe 5 percent of the time. But after weight loss, I used the drops much more often, found them quite comfortable. Right now, I am half way back on that weight and the drops are less comfortable, but assuming I can get rid of some of this extra weight I anticipate that the drops will be fine. I set them so that the tops of the bars are about even with the top of saddle, or many a half inch lower than the saddle.
