However, most advice I got on this thread was to give the drop bars a chance. That's what I went for...Dolce E5 Elite. I know I want to go down that route (longer rides, faster paces, etc). Instead of upgrading from hybrid to road bike once I've out grown it, I just went with road bike...then depending on how far I go, I'll upgrade to better components or better bike.
