Looks cool. I have done pretty much the same set up on an MTB so if anyone wants to run this with V-brakes then dia-compe do a really cheap lever called a 287V. Most levers like this can only pull calipers generally ! My ambition is to cut down some MTB bar ends and fit bar end shifters (where you have the orange plugs) but it'as going to need some clever welding. Open to any ideas to avoid the tig machine though !!! Just came accross this. Looks cool.

Looks like me SE Lager fixie. I love the bullhorns, though I did move the breaks from the ends of the bars to the middle. Makes it much easier to signal. But a great looking bike, for sure. Nice.

May be another idea for others. I was thinking of putting cyclocross levers on the bullhorns. May be another idea for others.

The levers currently have 55mm of travel, thats from the end of the lever to the bar. Anyone got any ideas?
