The drop is a matter of preference. If you want to get real deep and aero, get deep drops like the Cinelli Criterium bars, but if you like to stay a litte more upright (probably the best for a commuter bike) get some shallower ones like the Cinelli Giro d'Italia. Also, modern integrated braking/shifting levers are better suited to modern compact/ergo bars.
Have fun building that Somec, I'm building one myself now, the one @
non-fixie was talking about.
Cheers man. Sounds like the Cinelli Giro d'Italia are the way to go. A lot of positive stuff about them on the forums too. I currently do have integrated brake shifters though... Not going to be a problem is it??
The bike needs a really good clean.. but once I've done that I'll post photos
