Maybe, but I'm amazed how many times the hooded drops vs. unhooded drops, vs. bullhorns, etc. etc. argument crops up here. You rarely if ever find any of these debates in other subforums, because its not really a debatable issue, once you remove fashion from the equation. Sure there may be a few freds, slow old people, and other people with special physical needs who prefer flatbars, or "'staches or other weird configurations, but for the most part there shouldn't even be any debating the issue.
In this instance, it mostly boils down an illogical resistance to properly installing the appropriate ****ing brake lever(s) onto a pair of handlebars. Makes no sense at all...
