To all you naysayers... Here they are. I just got these today, from Taiwan. Took a few weeks but it was well worth it. For under $100 a pair, shipped, these cant be beat. The quality of the materials and the workmanship is very good. Stainless hardware, roller bearing, nice CNC work, rock solid but lightweight. I haven't seen the CRG or Pazzo levers up close but judging from pics, I would venture to say that these are pretty close in quality. Maybe a slight step down, finish wise. I don't want to speak too soon because I haven't installed them yet but so far I'm very impressed. I'll post pics with them installed soon.
Can you tell us the name of the seller? cuz the link doesn't work anymore. Thanks

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Hey guys, I know I am resurrecting an old thread but I am curious to know how these budget levers have been holding up for the last 2+ years of use?
Is the anodized color holding up? Any excessive looseness over time? etc.
Just curious to know.

Humm, after some digging around, it seems that monstly black anodizing is fading to bronze-ish over time. Other colors, like your Red on Gold are holding up okay.

Probably low light-fastness dye in the anodizing process and poor sealing (read: cheap). I'm putting together a home-anodizing kit later this spring, might be able to reanodize/anodize-properly folks worn levers.

If mine fade, I'll either DuraCoat them or just buy a new set. Still cheaper than buying the brand names. No one that has seen them has known any better.
