The drops on my univega work well for that bike as a primary commuter, but I wanted something more versatile and gravel-appropriate for the 'hopper. From what I've read in the forum here, midge bars should fit the bill! I'll post an update on the build when I get it together.
Far superior to the hard-rock, IMO. You can't go wrong with a quality frame!
