Cool! It seems to me to be a really sensible configuration. I've modified it slightly since -- I got the Paul's Thumbies mounts and have that shifter set up as a thumb thifter now, so I can put bar-end brake levers on the bullhorns - with the regular road levers the cable exits the lever at a sharp angle which isn't good for the cable or braking efficiency.
