The RD looks like a beta-test proof-of-concept project. It might be functionally beautiful, but really needs to be revised to make it worth what they're asking.
The front lever looks like it was designed and built by a different team. The machined parts look terrible, and lack the functional beauty of the RD. The stud/ star washer/ nut looks like it belongs on my 1974 snowblower, and using a socket head cap screw/ jam nut arrangement to limit lever travel? Against the Aluminum lever?
That's just my two cents. .
