I have been thru these posts close to 50 pages in each direction and while I have seen some Trek Hybrids outfitted with drops, I haven't seen bullhorns.

new biker, bought 2013 FX 7.4. Thought I needed roadie as winter winds increased, but flipped the stem, removed spacers, added bar ends, added pedals with clips and reduced tires from 700x32 to 700x28s. Loving it. Just ordered stem extension to get longer over the top.

But I do not like being on bar ends because I have no easy access to brakes (ok I'm more Marmaduke than simple Clyde). So with all this wisdom: would you recommend bullhorns with brakes on the ends or a drop like the CrossRip that has brakes in 2 places?

thank you for help and mocking (need/deserve both I'm sure)!
