I cut a set of drop bars to make short bullhorns on my FG bike. The end of the horn is geometrically the same hand position as riding on the hoods on my geared road bike. For me, I looked at the current setup of my FG bike as somewhat a "training wheel" type setup. I know it doesn't sound cool & all, but the truth is that I was far from needing to ride in the drops racing or anything of the kind...so, along with the rest of the simplifcation of the bike, why not reduce the bars to the minimum needed? They make for a number of good hand positions & angling of the bar itself can add some 'aero' into that mix also. For me it really had to with 2 things: 1. how I intended to use the bike at least for the forseeable lifespan of the current bar tape & 2. I have lots of spare parts so taking a hacksaw to a set of bars is simple and does not obscure the option of going back to drops in the course of maybe 10 minutes of fiddling with the bike in my workshop.
