Pyze-guy, thanks for the photos!

The first time I saw dirt drops was on a woman's bike parked in front of where I go to yoga. She was arriving as I was leaving, and I just about went nuts over her handlebars--they were the Soma Junebugs. The wrist angle looked so natural and comfy, and the reach was so deliciously short, and the way the drops flare out and back, they gave you damn near the same position as upright bars. They just look like the best of all worlds!

I'm looking at the Woodchippers as opposed to the Junebugs because I can't find Junebugs that fit my old-skool stem. Although at this point I'm wondering how expensive it would be to switch to one'o'them new-fangled threadless, just because they look like they're much easier to adjust in terms of height and reach, in order to figure out what feels best over time. I assume it's possible. Interestingly, though, the handlebars to fit older stems are usually the budget version, which is fine by me!
