Well, to be honest, my main gripe with my other two bikes is that the head tubes are too long and I can't get enough drop. I have lower back issues (compression) and the low, forward, stretched out position does wonders for that. Keep in mind though, that my position is optimized for my riding style, which is somewhat aggressive. I can still enjoy a leisurely 'ride around the lake', but this position shines when you push the pedals hard and often. (Note: By that, I mean spin.)
