Earlier this year I was in a friend's bike shop, where he deals mainly in
used bikes and parts with a bobbish flavor. He had a pair of late 80's or
early 90's mountain bike levers, maybe also made by Dia-Compe, with a
guidonnet-style bend in them, that had been intended to allow the use of
That's for the valuable feedback everyone
The impulse has passed and I think I'll avoid pursuing those levers

Similar feelings here. I also had a set mounted on VO Porteur bars. I found
that if you grabbed the curved end portion hard in an emergency braking
situation, the levers could rotate on the bars, causing the lever to bottom
out against the bars. This led to a very scary near crash for me. I
I've used them on the VO Porteurs which are similar to the Chocos. Wasn't a
fan. They have lots of flex and sit very far away from the bar with no
adjustment (though Kai's smartly-rigged set might fix the latter).

I have a tortured you can have, to measure or use. I rigged a threaded lamp
connector to give some reach adjustment. It was a butchering, but it worked to
get the levers a little closer. I've got pictures somewhere, maybe posted here,
but I'll have a look around. I remember that experience led
Similarly, if someone who owns the Dia-Compe versions of those levers could
provide length measurements, that would be greatly appreciated.
