Default "Old School" Oberon Adjustable Clutch & Brake Levers

My clutch lever position was driving me up the wall in heavy traffic so I recently upgraded both levers to Oberon adjustables. I like to keep my bike looking fairly old school and whilst the Oberons were a tad modern looking I was prepared to sacrifice style over function in this case. I'd added some leather wraps to my old levers which were good looking and comfy on the fingers but until a couple of nights ago it didn't occur to me that I might be able to transfer them across. Had to trim the length a bit but lo and behold it worked and I'm really pleased with the way the adjustables now look and feel! The Oberon are much skinnier than the stock levers and the leather wraps add the right amount of padding to make them feel just right for my hands.

Cheers guys! Yes, extremely comfy and the levers are now exactly where my hands require them to be and can be operated with one finger if need be. Funny how changing the lever position takes the clutch from feeling overly heavy to extremely light.

Looks like a answer to a problem I'd like to solve... and stylish too.

Those are very nice looking but a little high for me so I just ordered these for $28. If they're like the ones I got for my Versys they should be pretty nice.
