track drops are versatile... and are beautiful. besides, if you like how your bike looks, you become more inclined to ride it... which is the ultimate goal ... riding.

and not bangin' your forearms when you're sprintin up a hill in drops is always nice.

one thing many might not be aware of.. is the drops also serve a purpose when you're cruising for extended periods of time... they give you a chance to take some weight off your ass if you're becoming sore.
