Track handlebars - hand position

Agree, RPM. If the drops are not going to be used then better off just having risers/flats as they are more comfortable than holding the tops of a track bar as the flat part of a track bar is way too narrow which would completely cramp up the shoulders, affect breathing, give discomfort etc,. as well as being safer as bike control is better.

Still, as I said earlier, they don't look so cool which is the most important bit to some.

If people think riding deep drop bars with their hands around the tops, by the stem, looks cool, then they are very sadly mistaken!
