Drops feel good. It's genrally comfy, bar the plastic bits of the shifter jabbing my palms - which seems a shame.
I think I could do a bit more reach, and to me it makes sense to have a nice big platform created by a longer reach bar, and then just knock a bit off the stem if I'm too stretched out.
Was just wondering if other have found BDHU sub optimal on what seems now relatively ubiquitous 75mm reach bars.

I've BDHU my road fixed. The bars are pretty compact (75mm reach I think) and now the plastic corners on the outside of the SRAM hoods protrude more than before and can be painful on my palms.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it better on longer reach bars? Should I just BUHD so I'm back to a more comfortable setup?
On that note - what's the budget longer reach (85 / 90mm) but compact drop 38/40cm bar of choice?
