converting a bike to drops?

[Gravity Aided]

In my case, Shimano dual pivot vee brakes and Dia Compe hooded road brake levers. I may investigate travel agents though, as they may be a good alternative to the wee tube that feeds the cable into the vee brake itself. The tube tends to be a source of clagging up and causing inefficient cable movement.

Yeah, I don't like the noodle, either. Just another thing between me and V-brakes.
