This is looking promising! So when measuring up my current flat bar, the grips are about 15-20mm rear of the bar front mount due to the rear sweep of the bar. I just picked up a Velo Orange Randenneur drop bar, which has a little rear sweep to the tops. With a stem around 15-20mm shorter, the tops will be nearly the same location as my current grips (although much less wide), the curve at the ends will match my current bar ends and the hoods will be just slightly farther forward than that. Just for some added flexibility in positioning, I ordered a 90mm adjustable angle Ritchie stem. That, plus playing with the spacer stack should give a good bit of flexibility to get the new drop bar just right. Can’t wait to get this done.
