Check out how Moser and De Vlaeminck have hardly any bar drop, yet they're riding as low as anything. I love posting these pics.



Also check out how much drop their handlebars have, probably Cinelli 66 bars. I love classic bars; Ritchey WCS Classic and that's what I still ride, have Cinelli 64 on the Eisentraut.
