I set the bars so I get 7.5-8.0 drop to the hoods. Of course the drops put me that much lower. what i cannot reconcile for myself versus your comments is i dont have a want to be higher. when I have been higher, like 5.0-6.0cm drop, the bike doesn't feel as right. and, i think I would need the bars higher to be able to ride in the drops as much as you are implying you do.
