I'll be curious to see what bars you go for. I'm always half on the look out for low rise with a decent amount of sweep, but not north road / cruiser esq ones. I reckon it will be a nice set up for the summer as well.
Re the shifters; as cool and retro as thumbies / hybrid-conversion thumbies look (in a Prolly / Rivindale way), trigger shifters are just way better. Once you factor the totally ridiculous price it's a no brainer.
And before anyone says anything about reliability - you're commuting not crossing the Gobi Desert and mtbs seem to manage fine with triggers ;)
