The ETC alloy levers are good buy considering their low price. They have a clean finish and the internal spring on the lever feels firm, but also easy to compress without any wobble in the mechanism.
I opted for the silver finish because I put them on an older steel frame and they almost look the part, but could do with a polished metallic finish if one really wanted them to blend in with the stylings of an older frame.
Installation is quick and easy, just a single allen bolt to clamp them against your handle bars. On the exit of your cable, the levers have a cable end ferrule that should fit most cable outers. On the entrance of your cable there is an indentation where the cable enters. I put my own ferrule on that side.
Overall, very happy with them.
