Not sure if I'm just getting too old these days but it's quite difficult for me to be on the drops, mostly due to feel. It feels like I'm bent over so far that it's tough to even strain my neck up to see. And my bars aren't crazy low either, especially compared to many bikes I see on this site. I suppose my bars are about 2 inches lower than the top of the saddle.
