Donohue 559 low-trail conversion

No reason other than looks, I suppose. The way this turned out, old MTBs and their drop bar conversions were a big inspiration. Though I'm not sure how the modern shimano group fits with that explanation.

Understood completely, I went for quill on my rando bike just for the look as well (which paid off), but it's not set high (big saddle to bar drop for an audax bike), the main concern is that with the height you want to set the bar at, might end up being a little flexy compare to a decent ahead stem.
