I love road drop bars and ride in the drops frequently on my geared bikes, but track drops have a much different feel.

I highly recommend the Soma Major Taylor bars which have a track "look"....they are track drops after all. I use them on a conversion and have ridden 80+ miles comfortably as road drop bars. The drop is much more shallow and very practical for street use IMO. They're also like half the price of the Nitto's.
I have the Major Taylors and they were just not for me on the street... I've gone back to bullhorns... might give road drops a go as I just got my old pair back...
