Starting to desire a brake on either my Kilo or my Mash. Problem is neither of them have viable front wheels (yes ellipse is machined but why needlessly wear the black off?).
Considering purchasing a MSW black Aerospoke to run the brake on. . .

Should I put drops and hoods on this? I like the feeling of hoods and drops more than riser bars but I don't know if it will look too out of place. Probably would need a longer stem to pull it off since the fork is hueg liek xbox

I thought about mountain drops but I think they look awkwardly wide. I was thinking more along the lines of anatomic drops. For the most part I just use this bike to get around campus and I would like it to be a little more useful for 3-10mi trips.
If you're considering a composite wheel with a machined braking surface, 850g Lolergy > 2500g Arrospok. Also cheaper and more suspenseful to ride.

Should I sell my Nitto RB-021's and buy compact drops+hoods for my schwinn? I find neither my RB's or my Road Champ drops to be comfortable in any one position for more than 10 minutes.
