I'm in the process of doing a custom build (Road bike from a mtb frame) but have come across a few problems. I was going to use drop bars but I cant find sti shifters compatible with Paul MotoLite v-brakes without having to use a travel agent pulley.

I have now opted for bull horns and am hoping to fit Shimano mtb shifters & brake levers on but i've read the diameter of the bullhorns are too big for the shifters. I've found these on [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220866136780?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 ]ebay[/url] which have a 22.2mm handlebar grip diameter but am now wondering if the brake levers will be too big. Another concern is getting the shifter around the bend. Any idea's. Cheers
