Any downsides? 25 lbs if that matters? No drop bar bikes?
Why are they not more popular?
Seems if you are a high mileage cyclist, you save on replacing chains and cassettes as well?
For the kind of riding I do, (7 miles each morning) its 25 Lbs. weight and the lack of drop bars isn't an issue. For a long distance cyclist though, it might be.
