It must be great to have things from your childhood. All mine went in the fire.

Too much attention to details such as braking ergonomics. Too much effort put into the flip. The true professional simply loosens the stem bolt and rotates the bar upward. No time for things such as removing and reorienting levers or retaping. Plus the needed style and attitude of horns pointing forward like a bull

There are two kinds of drop-bar flipper.
@MattiThundrrr is spot on with the flares/heels-on-the-pedals rider, probably lost his license through drink- driving

Minimal Effort is crucial!

The other kind will reverse the bar in the clamp, then rotate back.

Brake levers must be changed, custom shifters added - but don't ask them about it - not only have they fixed all those things foolish cyclists put up with, they also love explaining why!

Amateurs! Every pro knows you first turn the dropbar upwards and then rotate the stem 180° to guarantee maximum tension in the cables and a minimum in correct lever position and ergonomics.

There's to much break if set up properly you are easily able to hold the handle on the case tightly as you drag your feet to stop breaks are not needed in this operation.

There actually curved like that and not traditional cantilever frame because Schwinn still held the patent

What's the difference between that and the traditional cantilever frame?
