Nice bike!

Even though I prefer the flat bar hand position, for me the stretched out, longer/lower positioning on this bike would be torture. I have long legs and short upper body. 31.5" inseam at only 5' 7" to be precise. A flat bar on a frame with short top tube actually works best for me, and allows me to get lower than I ever could with a drop bar, because the hoods or drops add to the reach.

And no, riding the tops of drops bars is not the same as flat bars. It's much narrower.
