I find the early ergo-power bikes to be quite fascinating, with their oddball brifter shape, solid brake levers and combo of brifter with delta brakes. Besides, where I live you can get along just fine with a 5-block on the back, so to have 8 or 10 is just gravy. I must also not be the only one to think so if you look at the bidding on these brifters:
