i have those levers on my 650b and waiting for my tandem project. I like them A LOT!
On more modern bikes I like the Campagnolo Ergopower levers over the Shimanos and SRAMs. These TRL levers are just brake levers and not shifters, but the shape if very close to the current Ertos. But the lever itself is an improvement, since it is bent outward. To me the parts of the lever where I can get a lot force if needed falls right under my fingers, both when braking from the hoods and from the hooks! And the shape of the hoods is really nice, too. Even for my 68 year old hands.
