Anyone have any input on these shift/brake levers?

I realize some people won't like the way you must shift gears with them, but that doesn't matter to me.

I've been looking at them and with the price drop I may go ahead and get them.

Comments?

Thanks,

Allen

Why not just use the right shifters??I see this crap on the Performance flush tables as returned merchandise for 75% off.

Contrary to what Pokey says, Modolo Morphos
really isn't crap.
Modolo is an old well respected marque.
The idea is that the Morphos will shift anything,
ShimaNo or Campagnolo, doesn't matter, 9 speed,
10 speed, 8 speed, no sweat. You don't need to rebuild
Ergo levers or buy new STI (since can't rebuild shimaNo).
this is easily $30 to $50 less than they show up on
e-bay for.
If you need some advice, shoot a PM to Xavier who
is moderator of Racing Forum (he also runs Bulltek sports).
Search the threads for Modolo Morphos I know they have
been discussed here before.
