Drop it like it's hot

So my new mtb with drop bars project is just about complete...well, it is complete sort of.  I have the bike set up with its new midge drop bars and tektro drop bar brake levers.  It looks pretty nice.  I've also set up a second wheelset with slightly more narrow motoraptor 2.1 tires, rather than the giant beasts the other wheelset offers.

I say it isn't quite done yet only because I plan to repaint it some months down the road.  So, there will be a new version on its way.  Nevertheless, I'm ready to take the bike out and test the drop bar set up today at one of my favorite trails, Schaeffer Farms.  It should be nice and muddy from the rain the past two days, but I can't wait to finally ride the single speed with drop bars on a real trail.  If I like it, great.  If not, I'm ready to pop multiple gears back on it and probably run it as a 1x9.  I'll let you all know how it goes.
