In fact, the VAR #425 levers are still sold by VAR. At least the packages I recently saw said "VAR" on the label. And I agree, these things are great. (I have 2 sets, in fact.) By the way, this is what they look like: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/var/pages/var0051.html

There is a CR list member who should have an ample supply of these things. If he doesn't post anything on-list soon, but you're truly interested in buying a set, please let me know off-list. I'll supply the email address.

Note that I'm not trying to be mysterious. I merely don't feel comfortable in posting another member's email address without permission. BTW, VAR tools really are the best :-)
