:noidea: I never suggested drops/hoods. My post was directed at HillRPete.

I think that's 51x15, which is 89" which was for a track bike crit (Red Hook). If you think that's big you should see my TT bike, up to 113" ;)

I do believe that HillRPete meant that dropbars without brakehoods aren't optimal for hillclimbs? :-)

Also, nice bikes! The TT one looks fast! ;-)

Thanks, the Cervelo T3 that recently replaced it is even faster :)

I like it. I have respect for fixed gear riders that can climb - but more so - descend hills. I rode fixed gear for a bit so I've been there... I hated going down hill hahah it was more of a workout than going up :)
