Awesome! I've never used one but value my opinion because I say so. And I hate hipsters! You must have been the president of the debate team in high school.
No but certain products main market is hipsters. Such products tend to be incredibly expensive, poor performing, and instantly recognizable. Unfortunately paul comp who used to make really nice stuff seems to be adapting to the dwindling market for cnced parts by creating ornate crap for hipsters.
I'm actually suprised that those ****ty cranks appeal to them since they seem to be more a long the lines of PIs "otis" shirt as far as aesthetics go. I guess if you charge enough anything can become a status symbol though.
Either way every complaint I have about these levers is clear merely from experience with different brake levers and looking at them. No need to waste $50.
