Bikes: Bianchi Rekord 748 (1981)

Small hands and brake levers

hello

I have an old Bianchi road bike (early 1980s, friction shifters, Campagnolo Nuovo Record, 12 gears, 3ttt stem and handlebar, Shimano hubs...etc) with Modolo Flash brakes (these ones here http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Ita...vers_flash.htm, they're single pivot, non-aero..I think).

I want to change the levers because I have small hands and find the brakes somewhat difficult to use when my hands are sitting in the brake hood position.

I've been reading up online and there are two levers that I feel would work...the Tektro RL341 (apparently the same/very similar to the R100a) and Cane Creek SCR-5C (the 'compact' version of the SCR-5).

Tektro (http://store.velo-orange.com/index.p...ke-levers.html)
Cane Creek (PDF: http://www.diatechproducts.com/downl...er_Manuals.pdf)

Are these brake levers compatible with my bike and existing Modolo brakes?

Hope I've provided enough information.

Thanks you !
