I set up mine with Nitto B135 drop bars and bar end shifters. First, you'll need to add about 8 links to any chain and you might need a longer rear derailleur cable to accommodate the longer chainstays. Second, I used a zero offset seatpost and a shortish stem to close up the extended reach created by the long top tube. Other than sliding my Brooks saddle a bit forward on the rails, that's all it took to replicate the position from my other bikes. The hardest part was finding a zero offset seatpost in the correct diameter (Thomson or Origin 8).
