Title: tech 2's
Post by: waza04 on February 06, 2011, 04:45 PM
hi peeps, was just looking through a few bits that might be up for sale soon, and noticed these 2 levers, bottom one is 81 and top is 82, notice the difference in the shape and castings?
the earlier one actually seems more like a 3 finger lever, with the more pronounced ridge for the third finger, probably old news, just never noticed before!  :(

Actually there are three designs.  :shocked: The clasp area is like a Tech 3 with Dia Compe written down the side and the lines below, these are the 84/85 version. Bit of a pain when trying to match a set.  :daumenhoch:

The one at the bottom is the rare one as these are the 84/85 most people bought Tech3's / Tech4's by then.
