So here I am 4 years later and I never touched the levers. I have the cables I ordered, but I used the handlebar tape on another bike. The difference now is that I finally bought a cable cutter that should work. Its the Park cutter, and it works just fine so far in spite of all the negative reviews I've read.

I'm going to try doing the cables this weekend, and if it works with the Kronos I'll be happy, if not, the Speedy levers are still sitting in my parts box and I can try those. If neither of these work, I'll look for a pair of Campy at the next Brooklyn bike jumble, or maybe eBay. I probably also need pads at this point, the ones on the bike are getting old and hard.
