Do a search on trekking handlebars, and you'll find lots of photos and opinions that show how others have set up their bikes. I don't have anything bad to say about them other than they are not traditional. Some folks, like one of my touring buddies won't use them simply because he feels they are so ugly. I never used my drops that much while touring so I don't miss them at all.
