Love this bike
For me the flat bar has pros and cons, but I am a big guy and I like the flat bar. The bike handles more like a mountain bike on tight turns and has the stride feel of a road bike. I love the downhill cornering. A very nice feature that I was surprised with was the adjustable handlebar stem angle. This bike is very customizable. The disadvantage, at least that I have experienced, is that if you want to lean down or sit up and relax a bit, the missing hand positions of the drop bars is replaced by changing your back-hip angle. This caused a bit of cramping in my back, only at first, but it was the exact pain i felt when I started to ride horses back when I was a kid. However, like then, in short time my back is stronger and I don’t feel it on my 10 mile commute. Basically, its good in town, its good on bike paths, its the most perfect hybrid bike I have ridden for what I need, the base model (no longer available(metal fork and no disc brakes) ). To be noted I am not on to use racing tires or pedal clips, but its a sturdy, fast, and good looking bike for a very good price.

It’s a common mis-conception that drop bars automatically mean a more stressed neck position as opposed to flat bars. This is not the case, you can set up drop bars at any height you like. That way not only do you have better ergonomics for your neck, you have more positions for your hands than a flat bar would give you.
