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: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.as...=117&AbsPos=20

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.
