Nice conversion. One thing I'd do differently next time is to roll the handlebars down until the ends are JUST pointing downwards. Then you have to pull the levers back up the bar a little more.

The advantage is that you can grab the drops on a road descent without fear of slipping off. The disadvantage is that the lever sticks out further away from the bar because it's further up on the turn of the bar.

Everything is a compromise but I prefer the ability to use the drops sometime.
