+1 for drops, and not too wide, either. I've been playing around with bars on different bikes and recently lowered the Noodles on the Fargo by a good 5 cm (they were 8 above and felt fine, except that riding on the hoods and flats felt "tippy". Now they feel good all around except that they are too far forward but I will remedy that by swapping them out for Salsa Bell Laps, much shallower and shorter. (The Fargo is set up for dirt roads.)
The Herse has the bar (39.5 Belleris) about 75 mm below saddle on a 9 cm stem, saddles the same as the Rivs, and I was thinking how nice it is and perhaps I ought to raise and extend the bars on the 2 Rivs from 8 cm stem and 4 cm below to the same, but riding one of the Rivs today, it felt so good that I think I will leave it alone for now. I can always do it later, but why mess with success? I ride a lot in the hooks, too, thanks to our winds. Each to his own, of course.
