i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

at least there's still a drop, i.e., not the typical risers leveled with an angled stem.

I'd rather ride a Kettengrad than a Tarq bike.

Not to poke a hole in your argument, but there are certain hand positions that you can only get with a riser stem and drop bars. Anything a track stem with risers can do, a normal stem with a flat bar can do just as well. Assuming of course you don't normally ride in that stupid uncomfortable drop right next to the stem.

I'm amazed at how many people here feel justified in making fun of others. For me to idly stand by is just as bad as joining in these absurd judgemental posts... so you bet I'm going to say something.

The point being that it doesn't matter if a drop has a flat at the top level and a riser does not. If the person was looking for the characteristics of a drop I'm sure he would have chosen one but apparently that's not what he wanted. What he decided to do was his preference and not subject to your approval. For you to think that you know the motivation behind his actions or that you should know better than he as to what his preference is, is absolutely ridiculous. You positively have no basis for your judgmental arguments no matter how you try to justify it.
