Starting a build

On the hoods :

I reckon ideally I want a bar that duplicates being "on the hoods" but with a single mini front brake lever to hand, but also with an aero type position. Not sure if such a bar exists though, imagine certainly not in a classic style anyway. Maybe one of those above "pursuit" bars plus some cheap aero clip-ons is the way forward but clip-ons will look tat, especially black ones against a silver bar. =/

if you got a shorter stem than the one I have (mine's too far due to stem), then yes, it's enough to ride on the hoods, thought a standard bullhorn without the drop might work better in duplicating the hoods part.
