Interesting how your bars are setup. Your top to hoods are definitely flat but drop ends point toward the crank. (I just made a thread about bar tilt). I suppose you could remount your brifters up more & create a more traditional drop angle, but then your tops to hoods would dip which is a look/setup I don't find inviting.
Yeah that was the first setup, wasn't right.
The brifters have been moved up so that the tops are ever so slightly tilted up and the bottom of the lever is even with a straight edge following the slope of the bottom of the bars (very old school setup). The bars are moved down so that a straight edge from the slope of the bottom of the bars lines up with the rear dropouts (again very old school setup). This makes the top of the bars very level. This is much more comfortable for me and something I am used to riding. Maybe someday I take a better picture.
Saddle looks more sloped than it is. Simple setup placed a 4mm allen across the front and then a level to the back of the saddle.
Why isn't this thread more popular?
