Intec M1 with drop bar? - 11/18/09 01:12 PM

Dear all, and I'm sorry I write in english because my deutsche is pretty bad....

I'm going to build my new travel bike by myself. I'm considering the intec M1 frame and the surly LHT frame. I like the intec frame, and it is cheaper than surly. My concern is if the intec works well with drop bars, because it seems a long frame, more suited to flat bars.
As I've seen some pictures of the intec m1 with drops here in the forum, I would like to ask your opinion about it. So...
Does it fit the intec m1 with the drops?
What things do I need to take into account (smaller frame then usual in order to get a short frame, just to buy a short stem, etc..)
How stable is the intec M1? (the rear part of the frame, hinterbaulange I think, is 2cm shorter than surly (430mm vs 450mm). Is this important?

Danke in advance,
Josep.
