Converting a flat bar to drop bar
I have a flat bar set up on my road bike right now, I want a drop bar. But I'm wondering if its worth the cost. I found that the bars aren't that expensive, but the shifters start at $100, so Im looking at spending 150-200 for the bars, tape and shifters.
I want to speed up though and sitting upright with the flat bar isn't doing it enough. Will the drop bars help me pick up speed?
