I have to admit I've been strangely attracted to these levers ever since the first time I saw a pair online. Usually I'm not into anything that looks even remotely modern, but I feel like these strike a nice balance between classic-ish looks, and modern comfort and ergonomics. At least they LOOK comfy anyway... I've yet to actually have one in my hand. Maybe it's about time I buy myself a pair!

Great taste in components all around though. I've really been enjoying your grail threads. I like almost every part you post!
