Green $999
Sand $350

Green = flat bar
Sand = drop bar

Look at the geometry chart, there is about a 2 inch longer toptube on the flat bar bike.

I do not want a drop bar bike for the bumpyest roads I can find. Nice wide handle bars keep a tired dehydrated cyclist upright longer. I have a fargo and a flat bar bike. I have crashed the fargo on rutted roads, and hit the ground. The same ruts did not tip my flat bar bike over.

Do not put flats on a drop frame.
