Got any tips for getting bars straight after adjusting the stem/spacers? They always look straight when I set them up, but I usually have to stop and tweak them when I start riding and discover they're a little crooked.

Get degree in Advanced Rocket Science. Straighten bars. Profit.

Deciding on pedals. Track pedals, and clips or clipless?

Building a sw8 fixay for up to 50 mile rides with climbing. Already have mavic open pros / formula hubs.
Leader 722ts or mash bolt? My heart is already set on the bolt, but your opinion is welcome.

Hard to say. Those two frames are ridiculously different from one another and it all depends on how you're planning on setting each one up.

Regardless of frame, the bike will be setup just like my road bike's measurements with SRAM 900 brake levers and compact road drops, similar to Jaytron's bike.

I can't make that decision for you. My Kagero and my 722TS are very different bikes setup for different things and I can't imagine one being good for the other purpose.

You own a Kagero! Pretty similar to the bolt - what do you use this bike for? What do you use your 722TS for? Which would you take on a long 50 miler?

Check the pedalroom links in my sig.
My 722 is for cruising around town and short distances, where my Kagero is more for when I want to get out there and really go. Not saying one can't be good for the other, just not the way I've got them set up.
Last year's longer rides and centuries were done on my Leader 725, this year's will be done on the Kagero (unless I get my Bare Knuckle built up in time).

One more time. Looking at a cheap bullhorn for a starter, and a front brake. Would these brake levers work on the Origin-8 bullhorn bars?
I saw the clamp size on the brake levers was 22.2, can't find anything on the bullhorns. Also looks like I need an adapter for the levers, to snap into the end of the bullhorns?

Why are you gonna put 40 dollar levers on 20 dollar bars?

You don't need an adapter for them. Actually I have a spare one left over from my build that I'd sell you for cheap~
