last year i got a battaglin pursuit frame(650 in front, not 24") and its the one of my favorite bike. i dont do too much high milage on it, but for a ride around the city, its real fun.
ive tried all types of bars and stems on it and i find a 90 degree stem an risers are the best. I had some bullhorns with 40mm of drop on them and it was crazy unsafe for me, plus i thought i was gonna go impotent. i def. dont think i could handle it with drops
i know some people in this forum have pursuits with 24" wheels and that seems a little much for me.
