but then I'm on my first road bike. I feel like maybe I should try flat bars or something cause it would reflect more of what i'm used to (bmx and mnt), but yeah ... lovin the drops. I like to grip up by the stem too when i'm chillin but it makes me nervous cause my brakes are far away and I'm riding a SS.
