Pizzazz it is. The 62 BIS on an English bike makes me think of small-run builders and the SBDU Professionals. They also respond beautifully to when a builder thins them.
Funny thing, as much as they look fantastic on an English bike, I never could get used to them on Paramounts. That's probably because the Nervex Pros are so synonymous with 'em.
