Fresh and grimy mix-and-match group pulled off a 1987 Trek Elance 400.
EDIT: No longer for sale, had to use a few parts from this lot to finish a few builds.

Why am I seeing a cable housing coming out of the TOP of one of the "aero" levers? Or is that just a trick of the angle.

howdy - can you post the part number on those brake calipers? I let a set go on a Franken-bike build, but I think possibly, maybe I might have the levers that match those brakes; and it might match my SHIMANO front/rear derailleurs.
Seems like they worked really well for single pivots. I thought, anyway.
