Current Projects chat and miscellany

So I'm starting to feel the desire for hoods on my fixed gear. Also the engineer in me wants two working brake hoods. Also the aesthetic in me doesn't want a rear brake as there are no cable guides even though the frame is drilled.

So....

what are the options for two levers operating the front brake? I know of the "problem solver" one but it's a bit pricey. I've heard that the method of using a y-cable thing from a bmx giro is a little dodgy. I've seen another little gizmo that's like a bearbones version of the "problem solver" but I can't remember the name and I don't seem to have the google skills. Help please!

Currently with the same dilemma. Fitted road bars on the bike and ordered the sram s900 levers. just cant justify a splitter.
