Wuzzup with Mavic? It looks like the R3 caliper is currently being manufactured; do they make any other parts? I see that they were bought by Salomon in 1994, but after that they seem to (except for rims and wheels) have disappeared from the components market (well, the brakes are obviously still around.) Is the R3 caliper really manufactured by Mavic?

And...see the attached picture. The lovely curve of the lever, like the leg of a, well, a French girl. Okay, a French girl with a big foot. I have only the left lever, does anyone know where I can get the right? Anyone have such a lever in their junk box, just waiting for a trade? Or maybe a pair...yo, a complete pair? She is lonely, my lovely French amputee girl leg bike lever...
