I've seen mixed literature on quality of Campagnolo (drop-bar) brake levers and also whether the have return springs. I'm building an early 80s Alan Super Record with Campagnolo parts from 80s to early 90s and i'm really trying to get to the bottom of what levers I want to get for my setup. I really like the idea of having something generation specific but really want the bike to feel as good as it will look and that means having a lever with a return spring.
I've look at some modern day interpretation levers like the TRL RRL retro or Cane Creek retro, but not really sold on either.
Btw, I have these brakes:

TIA!

Then you're going to need these. Athena brake levers, I use them with Super Record Calipers. No return spring in handle and none needed.
