I agree to save and wait for what you want. However, when I was in the mood for a new bike I was sure I wanted a drop bar road bike. I went to the lbs and rode some on a trainer. I didn't particularly like the positions any of the road bikes I tried put me in (both Specialized and Trek) in my price range. Still too much of a gut to crunch IMO. Then I got on an Trek FX and really liked the position. I put bar ends on it to primarily vary my hand position but found Ii liked the riding position better as well. That said, I'm looking at different Aero Bars soooooo ride 'em and try 'em. If the drops are comfortable for you...save and enjoy!
