Anyone looking for something like these?
Complete, clean, levers are some kind of composite that was black but has faded to a nice dark grey. Very light.
Say £10 posted?

Came off a Steel frame Falcon, so I guess fairly standard. Here’s the Venier shot:

I beleive these may be cycling’s first ever carbon fibre component ever made. I’m not sure why I think I know this, someone else please feel free to correct me.

Anyway @Skülly probably will like these.

Haha perhaps! But no thanks. I’m all about the thumbies & bar-ends these days. Thanks for thinking of me.

Amazing if true re: first ever! I guess carbon didn’t even need to be particularly strong there in a lever-blade thingy.

I think they are zytal or delrin plastic, most likely delrin the plastic they made their rear mechs out of.

Pretty sure they’re plastique-fantastique but I did go and double check ;)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
