Hand positions on drop bars

i have a dummy hood and a crosstop/normal hood lever. so i get hoods, tops and drops to use.
i wouldn't have it any other way, deeply unfashionable but if you are going to be riding 50-80 miles then i would rather do it without getting back/neck/arm ache.
I don't understand why people make their bikes so uncomfortable to ride just because they think it looks cool? you just look like somebody who doesn't know how to ride a bike properly doing that hunched shouldered thing? either that or you have a nasty draught up your back or perhaps a shoulder muscle that has gone into spasm and you are on the way to the chiropractor?

you're finishing your statements with question marks? like this? are you australian?
