I went back to drop bars, SR Road Champions on top of a 60 mm Nitto Technomic stem. Tektro RD 341 levers take care of braking and the Suntour Superbe DT shifters were mounted in Rivendell bar end pods. Wrap is by Fizik. The asymmetry of the finishing tape was a mistake, but I kind of like it.
I am very pleased with the results. It is now more comfortable than ever.
