I saw this post - read the top comment and immediately went on my merry way. It's an opinion bias and Grant sees it's a good setup for recreational riding and makes bikes to make this easily attainable. I think there's still a strong bias that "low drop bars are for serious cyclists, high bars are not". As somebody in their mid thirties with lingering neck and shoulder injuries I can't go below the saddle - it's a fun setup. but I can't without physical harm. I'm happy that somebody has really rallied this high bars as a viable build option that works well for touring, camping, commuting etc and is building nice frames and components around that. I also don't theoretically disagree with Jan Heine's opinion on long and low rando setups can be just as comfortable. My body however, agrees 110% with Grant. 0% with Jan.
