Coolest brake levers - opinions!?

Re: Re:

Are Campag brake levers any good?

Heavy but good. M730(or 735 dunno: 2 finger) is better.

Re: Re:

Altek, controltech, tech lite are all ones I've owned that I'd call great levers. I'm sure there are others in addition to these and the ones you've mentioned.

I don't recall any levers made by ControlTech.

Any pics...?

My mistake, I meant machinetech. I regret selling a full set of these brakes and levers in black. Heres a pic found of a set in red.

Here’s a set in blue I’ve just cleaned up and weighed for the record

Truth be told Pauls are the best levers ever and they are still being made and sold by the company. Are even classic King hubs still available?

Got to be tommaselli motorcross levers used on original stumpjumpers. Unbreakable, the Cadillac of levers!

Had this pair stashed for 30 years, just awaiting the right project!

Like many I own/ed many of the bling levers in this thread but the most comfy to use are the early Tommasellis and they look great on the early era bikes.

Revisiting this for ideas

I’ve just bought a pair of Egs levers (posted before), fairly cool but annoying installing the brake cable. Now the question is finding a fit with shifters as these were made to work with Egs shifter. I could go 9 speed with XTR/SLX but the fit is wierd. I haven’t got the grip shift SRT 600’s at hand which I think were slimmer and might work better than the Sachs waveys. Thumbshifters otherwise…
