I took my single speed “road” bike out today for probably the first time since late last year. I rode the touring bar MTB all winter when there wasn’t ice on the trails.
Anyway, I was trying to keep the HR under control despite the high winds and the drop bars help a lot on a single speed.
Since I haven’t ridden the drops much lately, I have the tops about 1” below the saddle height. It was mostly comfortable but I think I had the bar angled a bit too much. I like the drops angled up at 10 degrees.
