Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If I go 140 I can all but forget about using the drops and to a large extent the handlebars themselves ... I have long legs and a relatively shorter torso... I have been noticing better power on the top of the bars than the hoods and feel a bit stretched out in the hoods... I think the 1cm less might help... Never know...
