ok, just for you Elk cause I know how you feel.....
Here is a comparison of my finger reach between my Rambouillet with non-shim-able plain Shimano brake levers.....and my Luna bike with Shimano R6900 shimmed brifters. I am not squeezing the levers in any picture. Both bikes have Salsa Poco bars.
You should particularly take note of where my pinky reaches to on the levers- that gives you an idea of how long the stretch is for my hands in either case. It's hard to convey the comfort difference in photos.
