i think it is the bar curve that makes your levers look wrong. it looks like the levers clamp right on the curve.
i prefer my bars/levers in a traditional "flat" setup:
your hoods appear to angle up. it is a good looking bike though

you can get "traditional" round drop bars that do not put your hoods at a funny angle. yours appear to be a shallow drop. i hear good things about them and they seem pretty common but i have hands the size of tennis rackets. deep ergo drops suit me best.

i think shimano levers make it loom more pronounced.

Oh. Well, they seem deep. Whatever.
I think my almost 6 inches of saddle to bar drop make it seem deeper.

That my friend is ignorance. Several scattante frames are identical to other brands (lynskey and pedal force) and most others have the same fit and finish than framessets that cost twice as much.
And then there is the fact that the quality and customer support complaints are much lower than BD.

Thanks for the comments Herbie53. This was actually built with a full Ultegra groupset, not even the SL. I had already spent quite a bit on the home CFO's bike which was also a Lynskey Ti. The DA 7800 cranks were a new but second-hand purchase off togoparts based here in Singapore. I'll need to save up for a full DA 7900 set however there is a certain Canon 5D camera body that I want to get first. The saying that "the difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys" is certainly true in my case.

Updated with a few new parts. I've been posting it all over. Don't mind the spacer stack, been playing a bit with my bar position/drop and haven't totally decided on it yet.
