risers, drops and flat bars. all depends what you do on your ride... since i don't gear any more i haven't missed the hoods.
Like RPM says risers through town just give you a bit more vision and comfort.
I have track drops on the surly... and nothing feels as comfortable in windier conditions, i find in that riding position to i can get into a decent rhythm quicker and sustain it for longer without figgeting too much. I like the feeling of my knee caps just skimming my elbows.
But... with track drop through town just feels a bit weird, like theyre asking to be caught by something.
