Options for drop brake levers

What are my options for brake levers on drop bars? I've got a fixed gera and I don't like the BMX-style levers, as I'm usually in the drop position. Right now my bike has the stock hoodless brake lever but I'm thinking about getting a new hooded one and wrap over the cable. Are there bar-end brake levers for drop bars that are long enough to get the feel of a normal drop bar lever? This is killing me!

Once you start going on longer rides you will appreciate the variety of hand positions these offer you.

They also only cost $20.

Yup, what he said. You'll have to spend a lot more to get anything anywhere near as good.

What have you got for tradeing stock?

I have a pair of 105 aero levers that I'm not using. I'd much rather trade for equivlent value bike stuff than sell them. PM me if you're interested.
