I missed my drop bars and decided to go back. This time instead of aluminum drop bars and aero levers, I went with old chrome bars with the old school levers and suicide handles. This allows me to ride in the tops through town to be more visible and still have some brakes and to use my drops on the open road part of my commute. Weight is not an issue with this bike since it's a commuter...........

Here is the original drop bars (these lighter bars/brakes went on my Huffy road bike)........



Flat bar conversion...............



Back to drop bars (Original bars/brakes from Huffy road bike)...........



Very clean. I like it, especially the functionality added...
