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.
The 45 degree angle the Jones bars and also the Surly Open bars put you in is actually very comfortable.
If you want some drop without a drop, consider the Nitto Albastache type bars
or the Albatross bars, upside down
