and some road bikes have drops but not classic track drop there straight than drops.

sorry for hard explaination thanks if answereD!

Update:

I ride a fixie bike(single speed) I have classic track drop bars. Im probably going to buy road drops.

I just wanted to know difference from classic track drop and road drops, because I can tell the road drops are straighter than they drop into that U shape, and classic track drop DROP sooner into the U shape.

    Road bike drop bars are made that way so you have several places to put your hands, on the track you want the most efficient position and you don't have brake levers.

    don't use track bikes on the road ,it is dangerously unsafe. It has no brakes and it is always ridden w/ cleats. And the position on the bike is not conducive to comfort either.
