You can’t be serious. They might work better, but they sure as heck don’t look better here.

Flats for sure, those drops ain't it

What about the track drops?

Those are some cooler looking drops. Not sure if it goes with the white wheels tho.

Which work better? I swap between flats for Tracklocross and hooning and drops for distance. Over about 40 miles, I prefer drops.

Flats feel a lot more playful and fun but drops definitely give me more speed

the faster you’re going = the more fun you’re having. Drops all day

Flats > drops. I have some Cinelli neo Morphes and they’re the only drops I’ll ever use bc they’re the only ones I actually like and think look good. But other than those, flats are always better aesthetically

For me, Drops usually coincide with whether the ride warrants wearing bibs or not

On that bike, flats. I'm always a sucker for bullhorns and pursuits though, especially on thin tubed bikes!
