On my single speed Scattante, I had in-line brakes added, which was a good fix. If you're still having problems reaching the brakes properly, ask about shims.
    Thanks - though I am hoping that having the right size levers will take care of the problem My fitter (a very tall/large man) said that the levers on my LHT would have been hard for HIM - which was the double whammy for my hands since the bars were also too wide - so that made me feel better.
