by the way, all well stocked hoarding places need at least one random 600 set of levers and a pair of Superbe levers. It is expected that they should in no way, shape of form have the partner calipers...I have 2 sets of each I believe.
I'm sure I have more. I can think of some oddball levers for straight bars and possibly others still rattling around in a few crates of mixed bits. Calipers is another story. Weinmanns and Mafacs seem to multiply when left alone in the dark.
