Are you that stubborn or are you just stupid?

Track bikes are irrelevant to the discussion here unless you only race laps on a closed oval. You might as well argue that because BMX racing bikes are good enough for BMX racers they are good enough for road cyclists.

Ride enough on the road, and you will inevitably conclude that road-style drops are better with hoods. Again people, this is not even debatable. How many road bikes do you see set-up differently. Sure its possible to ride comfortably with drops sans hoods (I did for years, and still do occasionally), but that doesn't mean its the best solution, unless you are so obsessed with bike fashion that your overall judgment of function is severely impaired.

A pair of Tektro road levers can be had for $25. If you insist on brakeless, saw the levers off and keep the hoods, or, as in my case, use a front brake and just saw one lever off.
