i'm thinking this would look sick with Nitto drops, but i'd love to hear some other opinions. definitely don't want to go with flat bars - either bullhorns or drops.
the pedals are Campagnolo platforms of some sort, but they don't have a flip tab (or anywhere to install them AFAICT), so they're a pain in the a**. i'm thinking of going to MKS GR-9s or White Industries Urban Platforms. are the White Industries pedals worth the $200 price tag?? they look
hawt.
any other feedback would be great too. thanks!
OK.
Nitto B123 are the deepest track drops around. Right now, with your bullhorn bars, your hands are even with your saddle. Put the B123s on and your hands will be down near your front tire...or scrunched together on the tops near the stem. Neither one is a comfortable riding position. Yes, it will look nice...but be not fun to ride. Stick with the bullhorns. If you do decide to get the B123s, get a stem to be dedicated for them. It will be a ROYAL P.I.T.A to unwrap and re-wrap bars every time you decide to switch bars.
The pedals are Campagnolo Triomphe:

They aren't platform pedals. They are designed to be used with slotted cleats.
