Hi Brad,

I'm intrigued by your post, curious about what you're getting at. I thought his auction description was pretty straightforward except for "a certain Vintage bicycle discussion group", I did wonder why he didn't just name CR there.

It does seem like there's one early shape lever and one later shape, is that what you're hinting at? I didn't have any inkling the seller realizes that, or maybe he was just too subtle for me.

I forget, was the early shape, in a perforated SR lever, supposed to be rare? I know we just discussed this but I guess I didn't pay enough attention...
