these are the mk1's Matt, harder to find nowadays and though these are steep, secondhand ones go for over £100 usually.

Re:

You’re right of course Mark. I guess I’m not quite purist enough. That being said I don’t really know what the aesthetic difference is between new abs old so I’m speaking from ignorance

The originals have the little P sticker to match the canti arms, the newer design has the word Paul stamped? into the lever body.

Without actually saying what you mean. i have to assume you are referring to the long pull version you can buy now? you can still buy the canti version too though.

Re:

1997 paul love levers are not available any more. the new canti levers look nothing like the 1997 levers. no 2 parts are the same. hense why this set sold for £225, if your building period correct bikes which most folk do then you buy period correct. you see plenty MK3 golfs with audi wheels. yea they fit but look wrong.

strange analogy, but to those that cant spot the subtle differences or are unable to compare them on the spot, or even just didnt know, then what i said about the later version having the stamped logo as opposed to the sticker is, in my humble opinion, a more instant recognizable feature
