My brother raced on one of those Cyclo units 1960-62, he still has the bike, mated to a Campy GS rear; he never had any complaints. I've been looking for one of these, any brand except maybe the Simplex but including the Campy one, for some time, if i could pick a nice one up for less than the National Debt.

Compared to DT levers, really, it's not all that much farther to reach.

BTW, his Cyclo, different imprint than sown on the cage, his had CYCLO so stylized the letters look like a picture of a cyclist on a bike, it was years before he figured out it was a brand logo.
