This was my thought as well. There are quite a few non-drop bar options now and some even offer a few decent hand positions. The Nitto Albatross has some rise, some forward reach and the curves offer a more aggressive position. If you ride this bike in the drops, the Albatross' would be higher than that for sure with the Technomic.
