[RBW] Drop bars for a kid: help me out.

[Joe Bernard]

80cm is already a pretty short stem for a pullback bar..I'm not sure you'll be 
able to get a dropbar on there that he can reach. Plus if he's enamored of the 
road bikes he's seeing, he may be interested in more than just the bars. I 
would recommend finding something used with brifters and see how he takes to 
it.

[RBW] Drop bars for a kid: help me out.

[Edwin W]

I got a little Clem for my kids last year when they came out. It is a great 
bike. My oldest son has been riding it BUT  has just been so enamored by 
drop bars on bikes whenever he sees them. He does not QUITE appreciate how 
cool his bob-ish setup on the Clem is, no matter how many times the bike 
shop staff or I tell him! 
Right now we have VO tourist bars 
 on 
an 80mm stem.
Question - if I want to have him try drop bars should I:

Put some drops on the Clem, with a dirt drop style or shorter stem

or is it too long in the top tube and not practical and not what it was 
designed for and:

Get a small used drop bar bike off of CL and let him play around with that?

Thoughts from this smart group??
