I was riding my Steve Goff road bike to work yesterday and it occurred to me that I really don't like riding it as much as my other bikes. I bought it on a whim a few years ago and apart from a terrific day riding flat out round the London Marathon course 2 years ago I have never really ridden it in the manner it deserves. It's fast and really comes into its own when you give it the beans. Trouble is I'm not that sort of rider, and I really don't like using drop bars.
