I remember when Nishiki changed from downtube levers to barcons on the Competition. I have a set on my UO-8 commuter/cyclocross machine and recently bought another set on eBay. I'll probably put them on my other Peugeot, since I want ot keep the original Campag. downtube levers on my Bianchi and Capo.
