I'm not trying to derail the thread, but maybe this is on topic (if the topic is drop-bar mountain bikes). I'm getting a BMC La Cabra, which is touted as a drop-bar off-road bike. They are currently on sale and I couldn't resist. I'd really be curious about other's thoughts on riding drop bars on mountain/all terrain/off-road bikes. Brian from Lex KY doesn't like riding singletrack with drops. I know that Bill Lindsay has a La Cabra that he rides on fire roads (presumably with drops). I like swept back and alt bars. I HATE flat bars. But I'm not sure if I'll get along with drops on the La Cabra or if I should do an alt-bar build. (and forgive me for the non RBW but RBW adjacent question)
