commuting handlebars?

Xeney, how will they configure the bullhorns with shifters and the brakes? I was thinking bullhorns but then wasn't sure what to do with shifters...

Or are you building a singlespeed or something?

Hiya

Here is a picture of the bars on my commuter as requested. Obviously using the hoods is out of the question - but the setup is oh so comfy. I did try creating bullbars by turning drops upsidedown & then cutting them, but it just didn't work (not enough straight to take the sti's and my hands). But the bullbars were cheap & now I love them.

Sorry about the mess in the background - we are having our house remodelled & I can't even find most of my bikes . . .

(just about to collect a pink Bike Friday with bullbars too . . .`

INTERESTING! thanks for the pix

Yes, it's a single speed. I've seen bar end shifters on bullhorns but they look a little weird.

If you use something else besides drop or flat.. why did you choose this and what's your experience with said bars?

My original commuter was a Ruby with drops, my new commuter wheels (Globe City) are more forgiving on the lower back when carrying a heavier load in my back pack. If you're not using a back pack you could probably get away with drops ( slightly better handling when dodging "playful" bus drivers)
