IH8MUD Posted August 14, 2018 Share I have also contemplated going drop bars, but my lower back has some issues and I am scared that the reach and drop might be to long and low to be comfortable in looooong rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you will need a very short stem.... IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted August 14, 2018 Share Yes you will need a very short stem.... I think it's something you need to decide on before buying the bike. Drop bar = smaller frame, normal bar = larger frame. That's my thinking anyway, don't know how much validity there is to it. IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is I can have another bike every season. Come winter, flat bar MTB, Come summer, gravel and road.... Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted August 15, 2018 Share I built and owned a few Contrabands and they get my vote as "underrated product". They are well made well priced frames that should fly off the shelves. Lack of marketing let it down! IH8MUD, Allrounder, Danger Dassie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
