That's why I took spacemanz as a username, because spaceman was already taken. I've been using that name since the late 90s on other forums, so it doesn't seem right, that someone else "stole" it, LOL. Well, while you guys were all discussin' these fine vintage disraeli gears, I was out accumulatin'. We have a bike recycling place here, called Recycled Cycles, and they often get some pretty cool stuff. It's real hit & miss, because they stay pretty busy, but today I made a hit. I haven't really researched those funny looking levers yet, so I'll just let the pics do the talking, you guys will know what's there. I suppose if I really need to mix brands, for the FD, the venerable Shimano 600 Arabesque should be OK. I'll start another thread, for my fancy French handlebar setup, so be sure to look for that.
