Ok I finally took the plunge and bought some On one Midge bars for my retro Kona Explosif.
Can you show me your bikes with drop bars so I can get some inspiration/ ideas for set up etc
Any help would be appreciated particlarly about gears/ shifter/ drivetrain set up, sorry but sarcy comments won't
cheers
no coz u r a freak
drop bars on an mtb!!
horses for courses really (whatever that means).
gonna use it for commuting on road, canal towpath, old railway trails etc so it will be perfect.
Just want some advice from folks who've done similar ( I know yo're out there)
*stabs eyes*
Good God, look at that Kona!
I have some strange friends doing unspeakable things to perfectly good MTB's at the moment.....
and this mongrel...
i quite like that Stumpy
for my retro Kona Explosif
don't you mean "old"? 
yeah, you're right, can't really call it retro, seen as how its becoming more and more bastardised with strange set-ups components
oh well, still great bike
Now this is my kind of thread, here's my baby - big wheels too 
BP
bp - after the earlier eye melters, that's rather tastefully done. Like it.
Used to ride in Cornwall with a bike mechanic called Andy Holmes (Andy if you read this get in touch!) who had drops on the bike he used for the Polaris, I just put it down to him being from Manchester, seems it's contagious.
Nice bike though, BP.
Thanks. The white stem is black now, it was all had to hand at the time.
I did consider thins, but then thought i'll buy a cross bike, as for the cost i could sell the old mtb, and buy a cx bike. Much better!
Custom Solitude monstercross bike, with clearance for 2.25" tyres.
My evolving cross/road (ish) bike..
Road bars and gearing on a MTB frame
nae gears though................... they're for winners
presumably the kona pic isn't actually a bike owned by anyone on here?
i thought waterbottles are in STW thinking the work of the devil
did we not have this thread 2 weeks ago?
anyway here is my fugly complete with waterbottle
ok, here it is in all its glory.

im offended.
no really, im quite well known in certain circles for trying "weird" things, its all in the spirit of shed style progress and tinkering, but those HORRIBLE things make baby jesus cry!
that kona at the top is on a par with aids, bad aids.
eugh

ok, I'll try again
My Kona
For shmoo:
Grant's one is prettiest... singlespeedstu, a brown saddle? On that frame? Your eyes need looking at. 
As for that M2 Stumpjumper up there ^^^^, on which I love the frame, I'm less disturbed by the use of the drop bars than the fact that the owner is still using the original forks!
head to mtbr they have hunners of monstercross pics
Grant's one is prettiest.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king and you'd need to be blind to think either were actually pretty.
The only picture on this thread that gave me hope for the world was the one where some kind soul tried to lynch SSStu's bike in a tree
I just don't get it.................. Why?
Do you use drops on a road bike, or do you just not "get" drops?
