I answered drop bars but do also sometimes use my flat bar mountain bike. My bikes are ll either:
- Drop bars with STI brifters (2 bikes)
- Drop bars with down tube shifters (3 bikes)
- Flat bars with thumb shifters (one bike)
I have sometimes considered drop bars on the mountain bike as well.
Edit: I should have mentioned that the flat MTB bars have a bit of rise, a bit of back sweep, and bar end extensions.
