Style, often, is the opposite of trend-whoring, but I'm one to talk. I recently made my first every really large purchase on a bike, and it has drop bars.

The granny means I've resisted the trend, right??!!
Thou art absolved, my son. Though I hail the ergo benefits, practicality and
style of these things, I also own and use drops. Speaking of 520's, here's mine with North Roads and a B67!
