Brakes and Levers
I am currently builing my first SS and looking for ideas for breaks and handles. I will be using drops. Also, a place to purchase them. I am getting close and thinking about something similar to my brifters on my road bike.
Thanks
Dave

I'm assuming you're gonna use drop bars, but without knowing that for certain it's hard to answer your question. So give us some more info, duder!
EDIT: I missed the brifter mention. So yes, drop bars?

Mack hubs are also four lettered and super nice.
It really depends on your style, if you want something boxy, the VeloOrange PBP rims are a good choice and the oh so popular Opern Pro and M13.

Campy, SRAM and Shimano make levers that similar in style to their brifters. This can get pricey.

I use these and they are awesome. I don't use them on drop bars but I am pretty sure that is what they are designed for. Also they hide the cables which is nice.
