I have a road bike, and a fully rigid 29er (2.25/2.60 tires).
I keep seeing Lael Wilcox on an Epic hardtail with drop bars for routes like Conti divide, and it looks pretty interesting.
1) For those that have done a drop bar conversion (so you have a flat bar bike that is the right size for you, and convert it to drop bars), what drove you to do it?
2) If buying a xc mtb frame to install flat bars on, would you buy a size down or the same size you'd have bought for flat bars?
Thanks
