btw, i owned both versions of this bike (the long & short) i had some toe overlap problems with the shorter 'drop bar' model .. my advice would be to go with the 'original' longer model regardless of your bar preference.
nice versatile bike, always attracted compliments from curious cyclists who thought they'd seen everything :)
you can def buy a lighter bike though if you want to keep it as a stripped down speed machine .. but its nice and versatile .. i ran avid bb7 road discs with drop levers brakes .. although cane creek now market a nice 'v brake' drop lever that will work with standard bb7s that IME work a bit better.
peace.
