Thanks so much for all the inputs . It was very helpful. I will start of with downtube for front and bar end for rear, so that I get a feel for what works and a later point convert if need be . I am planning to route cable housing for barends outside the handle bar wrap , may be secure it using twine . I am also doing non aero brake levers ; so this should save me from re-wrapping while I settle on final configuration.
