if you ever want to "gofast" or "tour" - yeah, you should probably get used the drops. but it's a little concerning that you're describing that set-up as twitchy and hard to reach the brakes. is this your first bike with drops? are you feeling too stretched out? you may need to experiment with bar height and different stems. anyway, sounds like putting bullmoose bars on the bleriot is going to give you the same bike that you have with the hillborne. and as David notes, the bleriot won't have more standover if it is sized comparably to the hillborne. in fact, seems like you should have more standover clearance on the hillborne - not less - given the sloping top tube. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
