Been battling some neck issues over the last few years, so ended up getting a parlee altum for the taller head tube - probably greatest all around bike I've owned. Neck has been feeling better and decided to pull the trigger on a new frame to get more drop (don't care for negative stems). Also, parlee has never had the lower cap piece in stock to get more drop.

Decided to go back to a Tarmac for now - had an sl4 at one time in a 54 and loved it. Ended up getting a 52 carbon clean frame set. Was thinking about breaking the stealth mode and getting the chameleon, but no longer in stock :evil:

Went from 5.5 cm to 8.5 cm in drop. Bike feels really good. If this size suits me - maybe a Vial might be in my future - but for now very happy with this ride.

You could only wrap the drop on your bars to loose some extra g's
