Looks much better fit this way, can't wait to put drops on mine. Even risers feel weird to me, sweep back ones must bring everything even closer.
Also considering a front brake in a future, but will look out for carbon fork.Cheers @B0N0R
DoktorPepe-
I've found a pair of Bontrager Speed Limit brakes in our part bin, the great thing about them is the very short reach allowing I to drill the fork and not worry about having a short enough drop.
It's amazingly light, I think it's like 140g for a single one.
Need to removed the logos so it'll look pretty neat (single pivot).

I now realised why, I put my Nitto classic drop bar on it and instantly it felt right.
It also felt a lots less twitchly due to the geometry but still nimble due to very short wheelbase.
Gonna drill the fork and make it into a proper track roadie.
I rule it down to never ridden with a sweep back handlebar since the Apocalypse.
