Talk about "unobtainium."
Every once in a while some Euclid parts (brake levers/shifters/brakes) pop up on the local CL. As gloriously cool as they look, the brakes need U-brake/roller cam bosses on the frame and the shifters need to be mounted to the brake levers which are terrifyingly overbuilt. I'd love to see a pic of the Euclid levers next to something like the BL-733. Plus, I don't know if the shifters need to be mated to a Euclid derailleur- like $400 if you can find one.
