Handlebar height on my Giant

[leeman]

i have an fcr and am actually thinking of lowering the bars for a better position, just have a fiddle about or just sod and get drops, then you have the choice.

When I got my first proper road bike I also felt the bars were too low (mainly as I was used to a more upright position). So, contrary to what everyone else is saying, got an adjustable stem.
Started off with it at a high angle. And every week lowered the angle a notch as my body (hands, back ...) adjusted. In a few weeks I should be at a similar angle to the original stem.
