[FS] Campag Mirage brake levers

Unusual one this...........

Pair of Campagnolo drop-bar brake levers for sale. Actually 2003 Mirage
9-speed Ergopower levers that I've modified. £16 inc post.

All gear levers and shifting guts removed (for spares). Spacer firmly
wedged and glued in place of ratchet mechanism to support handlebar clamp.
Front gap of absent gear levers also partly filled for ergonomics. "9
Speed" logo painted out. Total weight (for pair inc hoods): approx 280g.

Black composite levers - strong and stiff, look good, warm to the touch in
chilly weather! "Aero" type (cable runs along front of handlebar).
Incorporates quick releases to open levers a bit more for removing wheels.

Bodies and levers all in very good condition except for scratches on right
lever blade. Right hood needs replacing - underside of hood is completely
split open (but could be crudely bodged if you need to keep expense down),
otherwise hardly used. Left hood (taken from an another lever) is well
used has small partial splits underneath, but is still useable.

Not actually tested as brake levers since the conversion (although mounted
to bars to test bar clips) but I can't see why they wouldn't work well. I
will refund if not happy for any reason at all and returned within 14
days. Not economical to convert back into brifters nor very practical
because of the epoxy resin added.

Ideal for upgrading an old bike with cheap & nasty levers (more comfy &
efficient), or if you need lever(s) without shifters and happen to like
the shape of Campags but don't want to shell out for Records (which are
only 70g lighter). Requires Campagnolo-compatible cables.

£16 including postage. Please email p[at]biggs[dot]tc

1. Nothing if already got some.

2. £12.77 (pair?) from Deeside Cycles according to website, they may have
to order. Price per pair from most other dealers is £20+, unfortunately.

WANTED: Has anyone got any spare Ergo hoods (new type), or just a
right-hand one, in any useable condition?

I'll lower the price again if no takers. I wouldn't mind except that I
put quite a bit of work into the project to get the spacers good. Maybe
it was a daft idea altogether! :-)

Ok, I'll shove the price down to £11 inc post.
