They're 'Bullhorn' handlebars, originally paired with TT extensions and bar end shifters but I didn't get on with the extensions so sold them which left me with nowhere to put the bar ends so I went for DT shifters. Bit of a mix 'n' match on the gearing side though, originally it had Dura-Ace 9 speed bar ends which are also compatible with an 8 speed Dura-Ace cassette (same spacing) Shimano used a different spacing (narrower) for their other 9 speed range but the Dura-Ace 8 speed are the same spacing as are other 8 speed cassettes the current DT shifters are Shimano 7 speed which I'd originally planned on using 'friction' but I found they had an extra position after the 'click' so they work indexed on an 8. The rear mech in that picture is a 105GS 10 speed but I've nicked that for another bike to cope with the Ultegra HTII triple that has on now but a standard 105 is sitting ready to go on to the Road Ace long with a nice silver 105 HTII to replace that black crank.Those handlebars whatever they're called are a good shout with DT shifters too.
