This thread got me wondering about my riding position in the drops so I took note during a 40 miler this morning. I am definitely not in the Boonen position with severe elbow bend. But I am not straight armed like first photo attached. I am more like the second or 3rd photos -- although I can achieve the Boonen position if I scootch forward on my saddle (on the rivets as it were), and don't mind, being very uncomfortable.
