    Good article.

    Would you happen to know how these compare to the dangerboy levers, they're around the same price range, and look exactly the same. So which ones would be better better?

    Very sexy levers though

    They are awesome levers and in my mind worth the upgrade. They feel miles better than stock levers.

    They are extremely similar, the only differences would be in the polishing. Straitline put their levers through a few more polishing processes so they are smoother and "blinger".

    Also I think the prices are different, from what I have see on Australian stores Straitline levers are $50 cheaper at their rrp of $109.

    Cheers,

    Pretty costly for levers, but none the less they look bling and sound cool.

    Pic of your bars is funny, everything's all dirty and stuff then there's these big shinny red levers.

    Not the first thing I'd buy, but if I had tonnes of money, they sound like a good idea.

    Ive got gold ones on juicy 5's and they feel sweet as, especially those little drillout bits that massage your finger while you ride.

    !'v got some white levers on my bike(got white grips to go with them). they are by far the best feeling levers i have used. Do yourself a favour and grab yourself a set. totally worth the money.
