What are those brake levers? I don't think I've ever seen those before.
I believe Modolo Kronos...a rather odd part, and the calipers were also unusual. Bit of a mixed rep on them, and I haven’t used them before. I absolutely love the OMAS bits on the bike, and want to add the omas bottle cage.

Quirky design on those levers. Interested to hear how they perform.

Took it for a spin Sunday...it's big for me, and it handled like it

I didn't have any issues with the levers/brakes, but the fastest I had it was 25-30, and I have pretty strong hands. Felt like campy single pivot. It truly is one of the prettiest I've come across.
