These things found their way onto some strange bikes.I was recently at the Melbourne Museum and amongst the sporting exhibition was a Caminade that had been owned by Sir Hubert Operman, famous as a Malvern Star rider and long distance record holder.It had a set of these so called safety levers.Obviously an after market modification.I am pretty sure he didn't use this bike to set any of his records Thanks also to everyone who contributed to the discussion about the mafac dual cable lever.I am yet to make up my mind about trying this but if I do will be sure to let you know the result.
