Something you're not realizing about carbon levers is that they don't get cold the way steel levers do. You'd appreciate this if you rode in the cold weather frequently. My Tektro levers get downright icy when it's cold, even on days when its not quite chilly enough to put on the whole "cold weather" outfit. If they made the R100 with caarbon levers I'd buy it.
