Oh, okay. That's not what you originally asked... you asked whether the handlebars would stay at the same height or not. Wanting to keep them at stock height while you lower the bike wasn't part of the query.

You've got your answer in the posts above. No, clip ons are not required to lower the bike. They are required to keep the bars at the same height relative to the seat, however.

The blocks shown in the second photo in InvisiBill's post do exactly what you're after. They leave the handlebars at their regular height, while the rest of the bike lowers. Therefore, the bars are higher relative to your seat, which makes for a more upright riding position.

Does that make sense?
