Well ironically the reason I started this build in the first place was the purchase of the Modolo levers at a cycle jumble! I just love the design and remember them being the 'in thing' when I was a kid. Infact I've just fitted another pair to my Fixed Condor. Funny how an impulse bargain can lead to months of part sourcing and deliberation and tuning.
It was a challenge getting some NOS indexed 8 speed Campag levers to match but they do work nicely. Shift is sweet and the front mech is like a switch - bit like my two speed Brompton - off the lights in small ring once up to speed cruise in the big ring.
