hi , i recently got a std galaxy and i m finding the drop of the bars far too low for my liking , granted i have not used it much yet but at an instant i found them uncomfortably low . my question is can anybody recommend or give links to bars which the drops are higher than the standard drops which came with the bike originally .. looking for a more upright riding position on the drop. thanks ...

    FSA Omega compact.
    Smarter than the average bear.

    Yes, another vote for FSA Omega Compact here - I changed to them and found them much better for getting to the drops.

    If you go to the handlebar review section you'll see there are quite a few bars available with shallow drops. Nitto make some touring specific ones that are supposed to be very good.

    Or raise your stem with a stem raiser.

    I have FSA Vero Compact bars on my cross bike, and love them. Here's a photo of them:
