I've grown to like the drop bar well enough. I guess the change of bars would mean expensive brake and gear lever changes. All the parts on this thing are expensive Campy stuff. That's where the high price comes from, so I'll stick with it as it is. The stem is adjustable, so I have lifted it up and I find it quite comfortable now.

Yes, it's a seperable one. Comes apart quite nicely, but not as nicely as it rides. The suspension is a dream.
