Designed to fit on slightly curving or swept back bars, these retro levers from Dia Compe predate proper hoods. Whilst they would fit on drops too, they would better suit a period restoration, as riding them without hoods isn't particularly pleasant. However, placed after the curve of some North Road or Moustache bars with some leather tape, and you've got a wonderful set up for a relaxed city bike.
