Yeah, in the 70s when everyone was hot for highflange I rode low, now that everything is low I like high.
I used to curve my QR levers on a broom handle. Clamp the end near the attachment to the broom handle with vice grips to secure, bang on the rest with a plastic mallet to make the curve. I think most of the Super Record "improvements" (cut out webbing, drilled parts, curved levers) came from "grassroots' improvements myself.
