Kilo TT Brake Levers

I haven't seen a Kilo TT with a pair of drop handlebar brake levers that attach at the archs of the bar. Just curious as to why it is rarely seen. I'm thinking about installing a pair of Tektro R200A's on my Kilo. Any suggestions?

Do you really need to start a new Kilo thread?

Why not? That's what that button is there for.

There is already a Kilo thread. I am sure any questions will be answered there.

Why don't we have just a single fixie thread as well. I am sure all your questions will be answered in there as well.
But searching through a thread is very cumbersome. New threads are a great way to break information up. Plus who wants to bring up a 3 year thread back from the dead.

Types of handle bars and break levers really don't have any connection to the frame. Except in some instances, such as pursuit/TT bikes that are designed for TT bars, or of course a geared bike that uses brifters.
