All of the above, basically comes down to that old point that bar set up is a personal choice.
On my first 2 fixed I had drops with no hoods. Then I tried flat bars for a bit, and they were good, but I just missed the extra hand positions. Tried bullhorns, but aside from having a better hold/grip than you would have with drops, it just struck me that I was riding with one less hand position.
So now its drops, 2 hoods and a cross lever. A bit geeky, but very practical...
...black fizik now makes it even more practical. As for a rear caliper, I'm fucked if I'm forking out for another Ultegra caliper (and cabbles) to match the new front one.
