new levers,

Postby kaneg » Tue Jul 20, 2010 8:51 pm

Hey guys,

Check out the levers I got for the trackie, as the ones I bought the bike with were an embarasement to say the least. :oops:
I personally fancy these ones, beautifull to touch, adjustable in lenght with the coloured tips, they do fold up in case of a drop, and you certainly don't see them on every second bike..........hmm there is a reason for that of course...

It's a bloody second mortgage. :shock:

They were manufactured in Italy and the RRP on them is Euro 180, which is AU$264 for the set.
Made of 7075 T6 aluminium black hard anodised and different colour tips are available.

Been planning to get them for over a couple of years, it's better later than never :lol:

Your views are welcomed as always (+ or -)

Yep Rod, we'll have them soon enough as the general concensus is rather favourable. 8)

Voltaren and Jim Beam. Best mates! Look after yourself. Did my collarbone on Reefton a few years ago, and it still wobbles. If pain persists, see your doctor.
