But I do have to question the idea (it seems I've been hearing it everywhere) of converting these bikes to drop bars. I tried to do that several times years ago with similar projects, but finally I've decided that a nice wide set of vintage risers or Nitto north road bars really suit these frames better. Though, I'm over 40 and I want to put north roads on every bike I own now

Really looks sweet!
