Drops!

Nice ride into work today.
First bike I've had with drop handlebars in about 35 30 years :-)
That was in the days when the gear levers were on the down tube.
I remember my bike being a nightmare then and my brother and I always seemed to be having problems with cotter pins and loose cranks!
Maybe they weren't supposed to be used for scrambling :-)
Anyway, mine was pinched (Ha! Good luck to the thief that took that one! He probably crashed it 200 yards later).
Since then its been straight bars all the way - until now that is.
