Hi All,
Ok so I have my riser bar - I have opted for a White Deity Villain 2 after a lot of deliberation. Trying not to go against the advice here but also trying to keep to what I have in my head as what will look good, think I am going to plumb for some white xposure mid levers (cheap n cheerful and only 160g). All the flat bar road levers are bulky and ugly unless you start paying £s. Happy for someone to counter with somthing that looks good and a pair come in under £30. I was looking at Cane Creek cross tops and flat tops but they don't do a 22mm clamp so no joy. I toyed wity Dia Compe Dirty Harrys for ages until I realised how much they weighed and I also looked at gold fingers but again the clamp is huge (tiny trigger, huge clamp - not for me).
So unless anyone has a better suggestion or if you can tell me I have got it wrong and the xposure's won't operate my stock Brompton brake calipers (I think they will?) then I will order them in the next 24 hours.
As for shifter - still thinking about WandT's SA thumb shifter but can't get the SA grip shift out of my mind. Choice choices :-)
