there are the ones made for the light X series, too, .. Ti.
double pivot brakes have significant MA, higher leverage feels Mushy to some,
Put on a set of 2 finger V brake levers, and the lever's low MA will make the grip feel harder.
also wont have the lever move much .. as low MA pulls a lot of cable..
That seatpost wouldv'e added another $82 to the cost. I bought this bike from a dealer that stocks them, so I didn't custom build it. Actually the post is the perfect height pulled up until it stops. My reasoning is for easier seat removal, without having to readjust the seat angle and setback. The inside diameter after cutting off the nub is what I need to make sure is 29.8mm.
I plan on adding a set of V-levers that I have lying around. This post was more too see what other peoples thought. I kind of feel they should just suck it up, put some Tektro levers and brakes on the bikes, and stop putting their name on every single part. LOL!
