I finally got these in the other day. Thanks for the speedy service Riv!

I mounted a set of Shimano Arabesque levers to them. They look and work great. The only thing I didn't like about them is the bolt hole to attach the levers is 5mm, and all my thumbscrews are smaller, so I had to use buttonhead bolts. I'll be heading to the hardware store for something better as I would like to be able to adjust the tension on the fly without having to use any tools.

Update: I figured out that quick release skewers are 5mm too so I sacrificed a couple of the plastic end nuts to the cause. Bolted them on with a couple 5x30mm hex bolts and used Threadlocker Blue on the end of the bolt threads to keep them from coming undone. Looks great and tension is easily adjustable (provided you didn't get any thread locker on the nut).
