I love both risers and drops. I used to use a set of nitto deep drops, but switched to some risers the other day...i find that skidding takes a little more getting used too, but i don't ever skid anyway (the only reason you should be skidding is when you are just ****ing around. unnecessary, and not all it's cracked up to be). i do find myself missing both the drops and sides (where the hoods would be). I like the position where risers put my hands, as that is where i usually ride the drops anyway. but again, you're talking about a way slicker bike than mine...just get a set of narrow drops. they're sexy, so they win. no pictures, cause i can't do it.
