Agree wholeheartedly on the TRP RRL levers - I'll mention that their hoods
are available separately if you can't find a complete lever with the color
combo you desire. I had the gum/drillum and the bike fashion police
required that I move to black hoods and I was easily able to source
replacement hoods on the intertubes.

*Tektro/TRP RRL SR*

They're best brake levers ever, atmo.  Wonderful ergonomics.  Excellent
finish and feel.  They come in three variants: black/black, black/drillium
silver, gum/drillium silver.

However, they definitely have a longer body than the SCR-5s and especially
the Tiagra levers.  So you might feel a bit stretched out on the lever tops.
