Any reason for going with non-aero brake levers? I 'm considering them for my custom to try them for the look/personality, but just read one if Jan's articles explaining why they are much harder to use from the hoods as that position has a much shorter lever arm and braking is better from the drops.
On the aero levers, both positions have similar lever arms so braking from the hoods is much easier and equivalent to braking from the drops.
