Best Urban lever EVER
Pros:
Uber light, good action, straight levers. Nice compact design, obviously simple and not for the poseur. The older the better. See : Schwinn, Weinmann et al......Bulletproof.
Cons:
Plain. Tecnobots & elite snobs shiver at the sight of these. Gram weenies and Old timers smile because they like the power and reliability. Best paired with sidepull Dia-Compe Deluxe 730's if you flip flop, bip bop, or Rodney Allen Rippy hip hop....
Comments:
Sorry about the lame review but I proclaim these levers to be THE BEST URBAN LEVER EVER, in the pursuit position of bullhorns with cork tape : Shangri La. Try for yourself - theyre cheap, abundant and come in flavors if you don't do silver. One less car shoutout to my sisters and brethren of the wheel, Major Taylor is watching.
