I absolutely LOVE the RRLs!

When they first came out I think I saw something about RRLs 'were designed by asking a Millennial to draw what they thought "vintage" brake levers looked like.'

For the first couple years I thought they looked hideous- then at some point they looked intriguing. Then I got a set and damn if they aren't the most comfortable and best levers ever. I love the way they splay outward- where your fingers actually are. The body is a good width- and I also like that you can rest your palms on the top.
