The TRP RRL levers... I think they're really cool, I think they're eminently comfortable and the best levers I've ever used. But I do not find them elegant or graceful in the least. When they first came out, someone said something to the effect of "someone asked a millennial to draw a brake lever from the 70s." The first several dozen times seeing them, I was shocked- horrified... and then as I got used to seeing them they got less horrifying- and then kind of quirky cool, and then I got a set and I LOVE them.
