Even my hybrid is donned with drop bars.
I am already there.
I love the drops. It's nice that I can do 15mph up a small hill into a 20mph headwind using the end of my drops to achieve a better aero position.
Now I'm seriously addicted.
The first thing out of my mouth when I got home yesterday to my wife was "I need a more aerodynamic helmet and a tight jersey".
Two questions:
1) Do they make any attachments to allow you to either brake or shift from the top of the bar? This would be in addition to the drop shifter\brake.
2) Would 45mm freddy fenders look strange on a 700X23 tire? I guess I could try it. I'm curious what y'all think. Otherwise, it's time to buy another set of fenders.
