hello, i'm embarking on my second conversion of an old road bike to a SS/FG. for my previous conversion i did the chop and flip to create a bullhorn effect. I would like something different for this one. this conversion will have a particular color scheme and overall look, so i'm picking out components more discreetly. my first thought was to leave the drop bars alone, but aesthetically i prefer both flat and riser for this project. i have not used either, so i'm curious to hear your thoughts about what you prefer, for whatever reasons - function, comfort, aesthetics, etc. my guess is that a straight bar rides just like the top of a drop bar, so the feel will be similar, if not a bit wider.

Anything you want to share (about this topic), I would like to read!
