b) the drops do not have to be level to the ground. most seem to like them pointing toward the rear hub, but this is all personal fit and preference.
comfort is the objective. not aesthetics for the messageboard crowd.
I don't agree that most point towards the rear hub. Those bars seem to have been put like that so the top section is flatter as I am guessing the drops don't get used. In fact the drops would be horrible to use at that angle as when relaxing hands and hitting bumps the hands would want to slip down.
If comfort is really the objective then get some road bars with full tape...
