I would like some help

I am having one of our local builders put together a 650B on a 89 Merckx Century frame.
I know nothing about shifters and brakes that will work best with my townie bar choice.
The bar will be a Soma Sparrow in one of the two narrower widths offered.
I would like to see some pics of your similar solutions.
All the components I see are less than aesthetically pleasing.
I’m a longtime road biker.
Downtube and those brake lever shifters are the only ones I know well.
This will be a 1x.
Bar end shifters are not to be suggested.
Thank you for the help.
Byron
