I added front and rear Tiagra brakes, but will probably only use a front brake when I convert it to FG (I don't trust coaster brakes on fast bikes).
23?! That's awesome! Mine probably weighs in closer to 25 or 26, but I've never actually put it on a scale. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, as she's one of my two favorite bikes...all that and she's one of the cheapest!
The drops I had were EighthInch track drops, and though you could get low/go fast, they were UNCOMFORTABLE.
id say try a drop bar that is more compact then? i have only riden my bike with risers and these oh and my friends kilo with bullhorns and so far i enjoy drop bars the most.
dont give up on them just yet!
