Sean,

Are you sure that the brake levers on this Gazelle (http:// velospace.org/node/4729) are straight and not just curved road levers?

Bars like the NITTO RM-016 are designed to work with drop-bar brake levers, and this Gazelle seems to have road-style levers, at least to my eye and without any computer enhancement of the photo. But then again, I'm tired and have been wrong (albeit only once) before...

I have a set of Weinmann upright-bar brake levers, BTW, if you need some.
