Matthew:
Did you heat it to curve it or did you cold bend it?
(Inquiring minds want to know...)

I recently made my first attempt at modifying a Campagnolo downtube shift l
ever, inspired by other such modifications that I have seen (bending, d
rilling, milling, polishing, annodizing, pantographing, etc.).I t
hink the spark that ignited my interest was a 70's De Rosa I saw at Larz a
couple of years ago, owned by a prominent Boston area collector. The lef
t side (front) shift lever had been curved to allow the rider to more easil
y reach over the top-tube to shift the front changer with the right hand. W
ay cool! Below is a link to pics of my lever, curved and re-profiled for
use on a single-sided clamp-on shifter. While it vaguely looks like a piec
e of 70's drug paraphranelia, I am pretty pleased with the results. If y
ou have any pics of similar mods, please send 'em along!http://www.woolje
