i simply think risers allow the bike to retain some of the sporty nature of the frame, while being a compromise for street practicality.

why take a race frame with aggressive geometry, and match it with bars typically found on a super slack beach cruiser?:

aesthetically it doesn’t work for me.

but then opinions are like assholes…

The bars are about the only thing on that bike that make it look girly.  
If it has drops or risers how will his girl ride it? …she’ll look like a man.
