^^ that's the kind of thing I'm going for. I think I've actually shown her a pic of your bike on here before, it should be quite similar.
In order to be able to get everything built up this weekend / early next week I've done the rounds of bike shops in the Holborn area this morning and managed to find some bars that are as close to the shape of the Nittos as possible, that will fit barends. I managed to find some in bikefix which should do the trick. They look fine, not exactly light though!
My options were that, or buy some downtube shifters to roll with for a while or get some Nitto mustache bars in Condor. Both of those options would have been at least £50, so I went for the least painful, which will also mean I can stick to plan A.
It's quite sad, I dreamt about handlebars last night.
