I definitely have room for a splitter on the front brake in between the hanger and the yoke, thanks for the help doug!
I don't have room for multiple bikes, and the difference between my Sam with albas and duremes and noodles and jack browns is huge - is like two different bikes. I imagine that I will mostly ride the dureme/alba combination, but there are times drop bars and a different tire would be nice.
