I'd look for Charlie Cunningham on the web. He builds custom alum. mountain bikes in Marin and uses drop bars. He might provide some insight into set up. You might also want to consider including some of the new brake levers on the flats as well. They've been the rage among 'cross racers for several years now. Paul Components makes 'em as well as others. I use them on my road tandem and like the additional braking position. Good luck.
