We also need a pic of the early SR lever with the same (early Record) lever shape. Does anyone own a set these? Has anyone ever seen them in the flesh? I never have. As rare and sought after as 1st gen SR ders and 2 bolt SR posts are, nobody seems to be seeking these ultra-rare levers. They are depicted on the 1974 Raleigh Team Pro w/ the black rings and HS. They are depicted in a later Raleigh catalog also, so unlike the anodized parts, I think they stuck around for a couple years, perhaps up to the CPSC change. Anybody? Please, show me a set!!!!!

While contemplating the whole Campagnolo brake lever thing last night, I've come to the conclusion that what I was remembering must have been a late version of the SR lever, even though it was paired to a set of Victory calipers on the bike I stripped it all from. I seem to recall several details being of "lesser" quality than the SR lever I was used to. Alas, all sold now, so no actual components to examine.
However, as promised, I've posted comparison pics of three generations of Super Record single bolt seat posts, and a bunch of brake levers, for your amusement, education, bewilderment or annoyance -- depending on your persuasion. Not that there's anything wrong with that! :)

(Marc - hope you're not still having the problem. Don't know what's up with that. Sorry. I think it was only you, and I'm afraid to send you another email!)
