Brake levers for the curved part or lower part of the bars?

Trim your grips just a tad and look into the Odyssey small lever and maybe the Springfield brakes?

I’ve had the diacompe lever and I’m willing to bet most of the old-school/mid-school cats can back me up, it’s good but after a while it does get iffy. Def recommend the Odyssey small since it does come with extra bushings etc

I always liked the fly bikes levers. I forget what model it was for certain, but the current Fly Manual lever looks very similar.
