You didn't say how old you are, or if you have any "neck damage" from football, wrestling etc?

Worse case you can get more upright handlebars-forget those crummy drop bars-unless you plan on racing in which case you need to stay bent over for the aero advantage.

Bikes with drops are uncomfortable for lots of folks- your eyes are facing downward when your neck is in a neutral position- to see where you are going you have to crank your head/neck up-that is painful for lots of folks-especially those with years or injuries on their neck.
