So Tektro copied Campy's design to produce the very affordable R100A and R200A aero brake levers. They even have the push button quick release which is the best ever devised. The R100A is for people with smaller hands and the R200A is for those with larger.<BR/><BR/>Price is per pair.<BR/><BR/><BR/>R200pad$25.00padType:Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547625560108812471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-80635961983065056602008-05-19T14:47:00.000-04:002008-05-19T14:47:00.000-04:00I'd like to see this one come down and back a litt...I'd like to see this one come down and back a little.

Nicely outfitted too.<BR/><BR/>It seems like raw aluminum chainguards were common historically, but I would prefer to see them with a bit of shine on them, and/or painted, or better yet, some details added by stamping on the outward facing surface. I suppose one could order one painted body colored when getting a frame?elvisVelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119452468064517828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-27663975469676040212008-05-19T12:32:00.000-04:002008-05-19T12:32:00.000-04:00I love that chain guard!
