Sure did! I knew it was called that too, don't know what I was thinking.

I don't so much mean that the drops on the stock bars are too deep (though maybe a bit shallower would be nice). Just that the whole bar is too long. Like I can put my hands comfortably on top of the bar as it extends to the curve, then I have brake hoods there to stretch even further. So basically I want to be comfortably riding the brake hoods rather than the tops of the bars. Something like that anyway.

Didn't know vo didn't offer a 27mm seatpost. Dang. Is it even worth upgrading? My current seatpost is doing its job (holding my seat), I've just read that its hella long and one could lose a lb or 2 easy with a nominal investment. Since everyone is buying $500 bikes and putting $400 into them to knock off a pound, I figured I'd better get with the program.
