Flopped, but not chopped.
Have any of you guys seen drop bars which are simply flopped, with the drops facing backwards, but left unchopped?
I've had thoughts of doing this, but I think it'd be rather uncomfortable.
Opinions?

Bum Bars just put the drops facing the sky, not backwards. From his description he's talking about more 'bullhorn' style, with the drops facing backwards [forwards]. If you want a deep bullhorn like that, go for something such as the 3T Moser.

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.

Bum bars are just the drops rotated up. Flipped bars are a whole other level of ridiculous.
