When I originaly configured the bike I inteneded to primarily ride the drops, I don't , I stay on the hoods or just behind, rarely on the top and only in the drops in a head wind. Bar-ends look so cool and clean but wth the way I ride they would cause a further reach.
Guess what I'm saying is; that before you spend some big $, get the dropbars, ride it a bit before you find a home for the shifters, they may not end up where you originaly thought they'd be. That was my experience anyway.
