More great points, thanks!
Some responses:
- I would convert my Salsa Fargo to drop bar. It has Apex 1x drivetrain,
and there is an inexpensive MTB shifter that works well, plus this bike is
designed with drops and flat/swept in mind
- I'm liking the look of the Albatross bar, not too extreme
Quick thought regarding drop bars in response to LuckTurnip:
Almost all of my bikes have drop bars. I have one bike with Soma’s “Oxford”
bars (a milder version of theAlbatross?) and a Brompton with a straight
handlebar to which I added forward-facing grip extensions.
On my bikes with drop
I was always aware of bikes with a very relaxed geometry / setup, and it
wasn't until I started seeing Rivendell bikes and watching youtube videos
of people riding them that I really thought about it - is it more
comfortable than drop bars, even if I have a more neutral (not aggressive)
