| greg and rich, this is something I've been planning to ask someone also. My ambo came with the lever up, the Eldo lever down. I looked in a whole lot of 70's literature with photo's of loops from the time period and found it both ways in pictures of new bikes. I've been using mine up just because it seemed more "right". The Eldo definitely seems to brake better with it up, but it could also be because I put on new brake shoes at the same time. Anyone else have any comments?

The brochures definitely show the lever pointing up.
