Love the Tektro brake levers. I want a pair, but I can't seem to shake the 
notion  that the shimano's I got on my Hillborne are just fine. Let us know

ride!

Thanks Paul, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Really looking forward 
to mounting a Carradice low saddle long flap so I can carry stuff. The just 
put some good miles on the AHH.
