Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I like the way they look but the price tag is a turn off.

It kind of looks like the DI2 hood. I don't think that would look good on a typical single speed, but that price will keep them off ordinary builds

I thought it looked like a tektro RL340 grip with custom lever, but actually I've never seen anything like that TRP lever.

You just have to make sure to use those TRP levers with brakes that have a QR, unless you want hard to remove wheels.

It has a tab in the lever as a QR, like Campy levers

I must be blind, because I don't see it, but I think you are right, because those TRP caliper brakes don't have a QR built into them.

I'm just going by their word
A built-in push button quick release system provides cable slack for quick wheel removal
