My bike has a "racing" setup; his bars are an inch or maybe more below the saddle. This might be part of my problem.

Also, the more I use the drops the less of a problem I have. There's no 6 inches of clearance (when I say "in the drops" I mean with my hands in the curve of the bar and fingers on the levers, is this where you are?) but I don't notice major banging any longer.

I think I'll have to re-test on my commute this morning.
