I can't figure out how to edit, but, yes I doubt I would spend time in the drops. It's the hand position issue that has made me want to try drop bars. After commuting for many years, I now work from home and get to enjoy riding as exercise and fun, and find myself on longer rides often. I love the Albatross bars on my Sam, but thought trying drop bars for longer rides may result in what I hear from other riders about more hand comfort.
