I feel like too much thinking these days is aimed at finding the one ideal perfect somethingorother, as if there is only one true answer of many. You see it especially in younger posters here, who ask a question and expect one number, down to two decimal places. In truth (or at least in my experience), setting up bike fit around drop handlebars involves many compromises, and finding a combination of frame, stem length, handlebars, and brake levers that allow all the positions to be comfortable enough. On a drop-bar bike, you're not supposed to park your hands in one spot for the whole ride. It's useful (and healthier for your hands) to utilize different positions as you go. I relish the fact that when I go into the drops on my bikes, my back and arms stretch out, my wrists are at a different angle, and even my butt's position on the saddle changes a little. It seems like modern bikes are set up with shallow drop bars with hardly any reach, so that all positions are just slight variations of each other, and I wonder what the point is.
