Bought these Just waiting for them to arrive will let you know what they are like at some point ... andy don't you have something similar?
I didm't want to buy them but Squid made me do it
So... at least the empty box has been shipped and is in the UK somewhere according to the italian postal service... I am really going to have to start having stuff delivered to work and hope she never finds the prepay card

I wonder how these will work with the Falco gear and brake pedals or are you converting over to the Mille arrangement and going for a race-shift reverse-action gear-change?

Figured for 40£ I'd give it a go and I have looked at that arrangement for the levers but every time I look at the bike it's just too pretty to mess with

No the Chinese copy of hammerite that they originally used was discontinued on the grounds that it looked fugly

I'm rather taken with their eccentric thingies for the gear & brake levers; could make things a bit more comfortable.

like whether the linkages will extend ... the Mille/Tuono don't use linkages.

The ones on my AP rearsets have plenty of length. I bet Griff would be willing to do something if the standard ones come up short. Or dexion...
