anyone run upside down chop and flops?
 

as in, the hooks pointing toward the ground? i saw a bike with them set up like that and it looked awesome. wondering about comfort though

I did. No on both account. It looks mediocre and not very comfortable as you must clench hard not to slip forward. ... I know because I used to ride on it myself. You don't wanna look foolish like me, do you?

well i was thinking id run them flat instead of angled down, but i guess looks are a matter of opinion

like this

Exactly, that's what I did. But I felt dumb once I really got a real bullhorn. ... Especially because I had to cut a good drop bar for it just like that. (Then the no one would swap it with me and I don't need it. So it went into my trash bin. Guess you should've asked the last year, I could've given mine to you for free. I might've paid the shipping cost myself.)

maybe ill stick with my drops w/hoods

What would be the advantage of that over running them right-side-up?

my buddy does it and I've ridden his bike. I really dont understand it

Street cred dude, street cred.

Same here!

none really, except that i like the look. if it could provide the same functionality and comfort as a regular bullhorn it might be worth trying

Wouldn't these just be "chops"?

Yeah, I was wondering why no one said that earlier.

Looks like you shouldn't bother trying it then.

What bike is that?

FOUR THOUSAND Euros for that?

Wow. Just. Wow. Spend 1000€ and then spend 3000€ travelling the world with the bike instead.

You could just ride on the top of regular drops and it would be the same thing + 1 hand position. But you already have hoods so you're just psychotic.

No ****, right?

Let me get this straight. You want to unnecessarily remove a hand position because you saw another bike like that, and it "looked awesome?"

I dunno about handle positions. I am just saying it isn't really worth awhile money-wise. For some people, s/he might need to pay to dispose of the trashed bars these days.

Wait, are you telling us you didn't understand the original post? Geez.

I know! :lol:
