I've done a bit more research and found my handlebar choice may affect my shifter choice. I like the hook/drop angle of the Nitto Randonneur bars. That angle seems like it may be more comfortable to hold for longer periods than a more outward/vertical hand position. But, I've read it may not be as comfortable using brifters with that angle, especially from the hoods. So, if I go with that bar, it may be better suited to a bar end shifter. I still like the idea of keeping the cables nice and tidy. Maybe I can do that from bar ends without introducing too much additional friction.
