Hi, I recently bought a pair of Le Roi de Grimpeur brake levers. I believe that they are made by Balilla? I wonder what was the ''hot set up'' back in the '50's? Were they matched up with Mafac centre pulls, Universals or their own calipers? Does anyone know when they where introduced and when they ceased to be the ''thing''?
