Sram S500 road brake levers.

We pronouce it "Sram," and I think that's right.

These levers are slightly less bulky in the body than Cane Creeks (which aren't bad, but they're a mouthful for small hands). And, most importantly, they have a reach adjuster built in (which the Cane Creeks and Shimanos lack).

They're more ergonomic than Shimano levers, and slightly funny looking for it, but not "deal-killer" funny looking. The lever part angles outward for ultra-superb access; the hood seems poifectly shaped; and there's a bump of aluminum atop the lever for you to play with while riding along. I think these might win the blindfold test. They are really exceptionally good in the hand, and a nice option to the Shimanos or Cane Creeks. 

Cables and housing not included.
