You're right... it's nice that no one mentions it, that's the way it should be, too. Everyone's different. All my bikes have a considerable drop from the seat to the bars, that's the way I like it, I don't like riding like I'm sitting on a chair. Heck, my full-suspension probably has the biggest drop, and I'm comfy.

I like your Paramount, a really nice blend of old meets new it looks like.
