If you label every inch of the bar then you can get quite a lot of hand positions.
I am sure you are right and the number of theoretical positions is greater with a drop bar but if some of them are uncomfortable and far away from the brake levers (that one right near the stem (1) doesnt look to practical and the two in the drops ( 4 and 5) look like quite similar to me) -I dont see that as being such a great thing
Based on the principle that everone else on the forum (and the pro-peloton) has drop bars on their road bikes I must be wrong but they just dont seem that hot to me.
