I'm thinking some cheap mountain stubbies? I guess what I'm trying to accomplish is something like a VO crazy or jones type bar. I added some mountain grips in lieu of full tape then started taping and twining forward of the levers on the bends and got to thinking that I never, ever use them

Non-aero brake levers can be converted to do this (dummy levers) by essentially taking them apart, removing the actual lever, and putting remaining parts back together. I did that on a fixed gear/front-brake-only/drop-bar setup where I wanted to have a hood hand placement. Original B'stone
