Actually its a mirage, something to do with camera angle. I always set my bars so the tops are absolutely parallel to the road (and with quill stems, in line with the stem). Yeah, it's more a touring setup. I never ride in the drops (other than getting to the brakes on my Raleigh Gran Sport), spend 90% of my time with my hands on both sides of the stem, the remaining time cupped around the brake levers. I've never had a setup where the drops are parallel to the road - it's wasted on me.
