i like that: "non-turkey style." and this is just what i did, got my hands dirty in the lever bin at 'recycled cycles,' here in seattle. they usually go for $5 a set, but i found three matching pairs of non-turkeys for $5 all together. the ones i'm putting on the fuji are really pretty drilled dia-compes.

so if anyone needs two sets of levers with turkey length pivot studs, i know a guy...

I'm here in Switzerland.
oh, life is hard!
