TT bike w/ drops [as road bike]?
I have a tt bike that I have replaced the aerobars with drop bars. At first the drops were not very comfortable but now I don't feel any discomfort. Is there any particular reason why people, or I shouldn't do this?

Why take the aero bars off? The bike's geometry is optimised for using em, innit?
Seems to me, whatever reasons you opted for the drop bars, should apply to using a whole general-purpose road bike instead.
A TT bike isn't going to handle nearly as well, I'd have thought...

I mean, people have done it before, or at least thought about it. It's kind of like those Cervelos with the gigantic seat tubes and aero stuff on them.
It probably doesn't handle that well, but it would work I guess. I'd just sell the TT bike and get a road bike.
