Thanks! No, I wouldn't call it that. I like my hands a few inches below the saddle, so it's more or less a compromise of all the drop bar positions. A little lower than the top, not quite as far forward as the hoods, not as deep as drops. It's basically a one-position bar with a few good short term variations-- I can get a more upright position by putting my hands at the top (pretty narrow), or for a more dropped position, I can bend my elbows and put my hands all the way forward. It's a good option if you're running an IGH, since it measures 7/8" like an upright bar (you can't put most IGH shifters on most drop bars).
