Maybe I'm just spoiled because I've been riding Shimano Dura Ace most of my life. Better leverage, Smoother actuation. Stone-simple to install and tune. About the same time Campagnolo was featuring this pretty jewelry, Shimano had just come out with SLR, which was a huge leap forward in brake feel.
Getting these NOS levers a few decades later was a history lesson.

Well, you're not replacing the levers, just the cable housing for some odd reason.

You are drawn to the orange cone
If you did, better keep your hands on the bar and the lens on the road.
What setup works well for you on this bike currently?
I only ask because I'm a year older than last year.
Thanks.

(editorial: = Why is it that every time I post a rolling picture without hands on handlebars, someone thinks I will crash? Doesn't everyone occasionally ride no-handed?)
edit: Orange cone? SBDR
@bironi - What works well? When I ride this bike - everything works well, in my mind's eye - just like last year, in my mind's eye.
