Very nice. I believe that the levers are for V's and not cantis. They also seem to work better with old school fat cables.




........sorry just saw you know about the levers!

That is stunning! A real first rate build and a must win in BoTM. Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow, i'm taking my camera so will get some shots of it in action.
