Cheaper, more bag and accessory options, while the brifters on the bullhorns look like a weakness.
Whatz Dis 'Flat Bar' ding ???? Sounds like a great way to dislike ridin...
DropBar all the way ! The Microshift Brifters and Advent X Clutch RD are awesome! Reliable, seem bulletproof, and never miss a shift.
I have and use the 10 spd Microshift road stuff on one roadie, and both this and the Advent X gravel stuff works as well as any of my Shimano 105 or Ultegra stuff...
If you decide you don;t like the Microshift stuff and 'upgrade', I'd be happy to buy your take-offs ... I have a roadie/CX frame I'm thinking to build up with 1x 10 spd, and the microshift stuff would suit perfect... Trying to buy drivetrain stuff right now is almost impossible - even prices from china are ridiculous...
Ride On

If you were referring to my mention of 'flats' - that was for PEDALS, which I tried on the X, but found I prefer 'clipless' - Crank Bros eggbeater compatible...
flat bars give me hives...
