Sloping top tubes on both road bikes and track bikes have grown on me over the past few years, as they have become more ubiquitous. If the bike fits and is comfortable, then it doesn't matter what the top tube is doing...
Holy s--t! Apes could hang off those drops, Planetdude. What are those ... like 50s? As for sloping top tubes, theyve gorwn on me too. I converted a slopy trek hybrid, souping it up that cycling enthusiasts now wonder what I'm doing riding a 'cross bike fixed.
