I was given a TT bike and am intimidated by the handlebars. They are the all in one aero ones with the shifter up there. Has anyone ever swapped out for drop handlebar instead. I understand the positioning may be wrong, but it would be more for fun than competition any ways. Didn't want to pass up a free bike!

You may want to post this on the Mechanics Forum since track bikes don't have shifters (or brakes). - TF
