I just bought 660 Crust Towel Racks for my Bombadil and am setting them up with TRP drilled brake levers at the drops and Tektro interrupters near the center. I also am using Shimano 8 speed indexing shifters (shifting 7 speed *freewheel* with Altus derailleur) on 26mm Paul Thumbie mounts inside of the interrupter levers on the raised center section. This is all mounted on a 10cm Nitto Dirt Drop stem. I also plan to mount a Nitto F-15 bag support on the bars for my tweed Nigel Smythe bag. Plenty of room for everything so far, but haven't taped or ridden it yet. The bars seem to be a wide combination of randonneur (upsweep) and Noodle (backsweep). I previously had the bike set up with Bullmoose bars/stem. Looking for more hand positions. I only ride drops going down hill or into a strong headwind. I figure that I will be using the interrupters most of the time. I mount the center of the handlebar several inches above the seat. I will report once I have some miles on them.
