Since I started this....here are my bikes.

Most frequently ridden:



Sunny day bike:

I had never heard about the idea of pointing the drops to the rear brake, etc.

I raise the levers so the bottom of the levers are about 1/2" above the bottom of the drops. A poor measurement technique since I'd imagine lever length varies from maker to maker. I believe a measurement that locates the lever bodies would be more suitable (for non-racer types anyway).

I have a pretty messed up lower back and riding on low hoods irritates it.

And here's what I really have a hard time looking at. Just looks wrong to me.
