Personally I would swap out the bmx style levers (if that's what you're running at the moment) for proper hoods. Even if it's only one connected to the brake, it'll be symmetrical and way more comfortable. Your brain will quickly learn which hand activates the brake. Have you specced just front brake for the new build or front and rear?
Check the road fixed thread for more examples:

We didn't spec anything yet in that regard, actually at Spoon they are now going to drawing board to see if they can come up with some ideas on a dual brake setup that can look as symmetrical as possible. And yes I'm running BMX style, you can see what I did here; to be fair I'm not a huge fan of the look, I find them too bulky.

Ok people first of all, a big update, Spoon Customs managed to source a set of Columbus Serie 100 and that's what we will use for this build, I'm super exited about it.
Additionally I need input on the build. I basically have about £1500 spare to spend on it but I'm not sure on how to spend them. Basically from the original list of components I could/would update any of the following:
Handlebars/Stem/Seatpost: Fizik Cyrano R5 full set
Saddle: Bontrager Montrose
Brakes: Campagnolo TT Centre Pull (this was a weird choice of mine, basically I ended up having a cable splitter mod so I can operate one brake with two levers)
Pedals: Shimano 105 5800 SPD SL
About the above, for the pedals I might be willing to consider SPDs of the type like the Look X-Track and for the brakes I would probably like to maintain the centre pull and the 2 in 1 system because I like it's symmetry but I would also like to improve because the current implementation sucks. Brake lever could also be up for upgrade.
I will welcome your suggestions. Thanks.
