That’s where it gets quite annoying. I can get the 09 Dew Drop from Wiggle significantly cheaper than a 2010 from the shop. However, they only have it in 54cm. I’ve tried a 52cm 2010 Dew Drop which seemed the right size for me. I’ve only had a 54cm Dew Deluxe to try which the salesman said would be okay as I could lift the front wheel off the ground when standing over the top tube (my inseam is 30 inch without shoes). Very tight though in terms of clearance but the reach wasn’t too bad. My thought would be that a Dew Drop would require additional reach though due to hand position so its quite a risk to go for it.

It is very tempting though.
Since the 2010 model doesn’t seem to be worth it, I can’t afford cyclocross and I need wider tyres than a road bike, I would otherwise probably have to forego the drop bar as much as I would love to have one.
