A better way of putting it might be how many people have raised their bars, of any kind? Most people go to flat bars when they can't ride bent over as much any more. I was never comfortable leaning voer that far, even when I was young and skinny. Although I still have the drop bars on my DF road bike, they are more than 3" higher and 3" closer to me than originally. You will never see me in the drops, but I won't change the bars because of the cost of converting the shifters.


When I bought my other road bike, it had a totally different kind of bar.
