If you haven't tried Weinmanns with good modern cables and teflon lined housings coupled with good Kool Stop pads, you're missing out. If you couple them with modern aero levers, even more so. I know the cognoscenti have declared MAFACs to be superior, but a well set up Weinmann Vainquer with modern cables and pads is a wonderful thing. And stealthy, too.
