I like it! I too have thought about a set up like that. To me drop bars are not as comfortable as a flat bar with bar ends. I also don't buy this hand position crap. Your hands are either horizontal or vertical, drops just put you down a few inches for more aerodynamics, but your hands are still vertical. I would onder if you could put STI's on those bars. Would it work if you placed them somewhere on the bend at the end.
