Thanks, Roger.

The observant among you may have noticed the Weinmann levers with the quick-release tabs. I had several lever sets to choose from, including slotted Shimano 600 as a reasonable nod to the gruppo concept. The thing is, these Weinmann are lighter and as functional, and had those hoods already installed. Labels don't count for much against that.
