Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Question about Tektro/Cane Creek Brake Levers - COMPACT version

Considering new (non-STI) brake levers. Tektro and Cane Creek make a kind that looks good (the same unit, different brandkings), both in a normal length that Harris Cyclery says is good for people with big hands and a shorter, compact version. I'm a slightly-smaller-than-average male (5'8") and I think I might like the compact version. Anyone use these? How much smaller than the normal ones are they?
