Drillium rules.....

No, not "Drillium rules!" I mean, what are the rules regarding drillium? Does this pretty much ONLY look good on early to mid-70's campy equipped Italians, or what?

Just came across some how-to info and thought it might be fun to try it on a pair of shagged out 105 levers I had lying around just for kicks. I got a new drill for my birthday in September and have yet to use it! But if it turns out nice enough, I considered perhaps doing this to some bits on my classic commuter. Obviously, shaving a few grams from a bike with a rack and panniers is ludicrous on many levels, but I think I might like the look, I like little projects and my wife LOVES when I find free projects.

So what are your experiences?
