MindBrain: Drop bar handlebars come in many shapes & sizes. I'm using a compact handlebar on my two road bikes with good comfort over longer distances. I position the handlebar within easy reach and like having my hands on the hoods of the brake lever and also on the lower drop section. Drop bars are popular with long distance & touring riders. These cyclist value comfort and know that drop bars aren’t just for racing.
