If you're going to be using this for long distance riding, I'd probably stay away from the drops. Ergo bars would probably work with some dummy hoods on 'em; I really love my Profile Design TT bars for their numerous hand positions.

as for the drops what you are suggesting is basically what i am using. cane creek SCR-5c levers with either some nitto ergo bars or possibly standard bend road drops i will have a pair of each to test. i also have my nitto 019 tt bars that i love and may use as well but i just cant get away from the fact that hoods are comfy for all day riding.
