I wouldn't be surprised if someone could ride the OP's bike for an hour or two in the drops, or with the forearms flat on the bar tops (clamp-on TT bars?). I would have done a slightly different bar choice myself.
I need to get this one out on the road again.
It is a fun bike to ride, and one can get very flat when down fully stretched out. But, I will admit that I never got used to the position with a little over 500 miles on it.
It seems like the bike should be fast, but I can't say that I was really any faster riding that bike than my Colnago C-40.
In general, I do think I get a bit of a boost from going low, but perhaps not THAT LOW.
