Interesting thing I'm finding a few months after doing my drop bar conversion. My drop bar MTB is getting more use than my Bianchi road bike. I feel slightly guilty for ignoring the hot rod bike. It's just more practical for a lot of riding, especially on city streets, and when I want to take my camera. On night rides, it just soaks up the occasional unseen pothole.
yeah im glad they didnt work for you because i'm really digging them

and the same thing happened to me with MTBs.. i have a nice Ironman but I find MTBs are just so much better suited for city riding. The roads around here are pretty rough so fat tires and slightly relaxed geometry are appreciated.
