    It's OK, I have a Hybrid to, but I wouldn't post it on here though!

    Mine is a disc braked Carerra Gryphon frame running mostly MTB components and with 26" wheels on 1.5" slicks instead of the original 700cX28mm. Mosso forks up front and weighing in at just over 9Kg.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Drop bars........ermmmmm.........


    I don't know about that I guess if I get into super long riding then mebbe this is to fill the void untill I canride downhill again in about 12 months depending on physio.

    Tiny short bar feels weird as well but rolls lovely comapred to the 2'35's haha

    Yup, this place is best for hybrids since the roadies are far too anal to allow anything that isn't strictly road in fear that it may potentially break a Velominati rule.

    Anyway, very nice bike! ;)

    You may find the top tube is too long for drops, road bikes use a shorter TT so that the drops are in the right place (think how far ahead of the headset your hands are on the hoodz!).
    Some solidarity!
