I have the same problem with those drop brakes, but i am in the process of getting fitted to my new Bianchi with campy components, so i hope that problem will become a thing of the past as soon as the parts come in.

what does the DH mean you won't be reaching for them???
I live in Kelowna, 4 hours east of Vancouver BC. Ebay can sometimes be tough since most of the stuff there is american but it's worth a try. I did check out craig's list but I think I need to have a better idea of what I want first.

What are "campy" components? Is it a brand? Are they smaller or ?

I think Erik just means that I would probably spend way more time with my hands on the hoods than the drops so it might not be as big a concern. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'm definitely going to talk to the salespeople and ask about it before I buy though.
