By traditional lever I mean a single lever design, not the dual lever design of the gran compe shot. I like that lever in theory, but in practice I don't like the hand position it forces me to use when braking. I don't like having my hands slammed that close to the stem. I'd rather place a lever a little closer to the bend of the bullhorns, so I can grip the bars right around where my fyxation pursuit bars start to drop and reach the brake.
