Are you running drops?
Will you have brake hoods on these?
If you have copied the basic geometry for a bike designed with flat/riser bars in mind, but will be running drops and hoods, you may find your top tube is too long.

Good points. I switch between drops and risers so having a frame made specifically for one would not be a good idea for me so I would need to compromise the TT, although stem lengths can accomodate but that does affect handling.
