Think I want to be lower. My back isn't bothering me so I don't think I need a more upright position. As it is it feels like I'm sitting in a chair upright trying to pedal and it isn't an efficient position. I remember when I was young I had a ten speed with dropped bars - I could really put the power down when I wanted to. So now 30 years later I bought a hybrid because they're a little tougher (I'm a Clyde).

I got a really good deal on the bike so I don't mind spending a few bucks to swap out bars and brake levers and shifters. Plus I like to tinker. I was just wondering what people who have gone this route have done.
