It's nice that you don't have to get new shifter/brake levers to see if you like drop bars, but I personally wouldn't want a bar that has a "drop" position but no "hoods" position. Even the "tops" position seems compromised by the way the bars curve downward before they hit the grip section. I like the idea, but it seems like an expensive experiment that you'll only use until you decide to get a dedicated drop bar or go back to a flat one. Nothing wrong with that, of course; re-selling should be easy.
