Cable routing looks to be a problem.

Naa it's fine just on a proper test 35 mile round trip, I like them

I declare these drop add ons a spectacular success and I shall be a beacon for others to follow They certainly work for me and I predict that I am ahead of the curve and these will become a trendy must have addition cost £hundreds in the near future, seriously just done about 45 miles with them....brilliant

I like them, but I'm still confused about the number of brake levers and cables

Just tektro drop bar levers for v brakes paired with top mount cyclo cross style repeaters, all 4 levers work so when on the tops use as per flat bars, when on the hoods
as per drops, works

personally I'd have thought something like this would be a better option if you want lots of handlebar positions. (as used by Mark Baumont on his world ride), it's even got a mirror .

Yes they look ok too, I like to have a drop position for headwinds, but those bars look good to me too

Just fitted the essential bell to complete the Mangizmo look
