i hate drops. i don't really hate them, but i never use the "drop"... ever. i don't know if it's just my body geometry, but i love my bullhorns, and have them on several bikes, and on my roadie (with typical roadie drops) i don't even use the drops in descents where i'm trying to get in a nice aero position, i just bend my elbows and stay on the hoods... go figure...
