I just got my first bike with drop bars and aero levers, and after a couple of days of riding I'm fairly certain that I want to try something different. I rarely, if ever, use the drops and I don't find it that comfortable with my hands on top of the levers either. I've seen some bikes with bullhorns around town and they look like they'd probably be best for me.

I did some research on the forum and it seems like the Syntace Stratos is a good choice (a bit expensive, though - are there any "knockoffs" with a similar shape?). However, I'm not sure what size to pick (i.e. 38cm, 41cm, etc.). How do I determine this?

Also, the Stratos bars come with 0, 5 or 15 degree drop. Since I've never ridden with bullhorns it's kinda hard to know the advantages/disadvantages of having a drop with bullhorns. What do you prefer and why?

Thanks again for your help.
