I just looked at them and they look exactly like my Pazzo levers. The pazzos seemed pretty popular so I got them and I love them.

I think Rich (DoingOK) has them on his RR. I remember riding his bike one time and loved the way they felt.

Pazzo is where you want to be if money is concerned.

They literally look like the same exact levers, except the pazzos are machined all the way through near the adjuster...

(that is if your looking at the "roll a click" series, not the folding ones)

There even available in standard or shorty lengths, just like the pazzos.

And they look to be around 85 a piece, the pazzos were 160 for the pair, so there about the same price too.

Im not biased at all, because I know nothing abot Crg, im just stating what I see when comparing both levers.

I did a little more research...Heres a thread that might help out, you should be able to view it without registering.

I found this...

"Ive owned both CRG's and Pazzo's , both excellent products, here are the main differences. CRG's use an extra roller bearing for the adjustment lever, which makes it easier to adjust you lever position on the fly. CRG's last I heard only come in 3 colors, Silver, gold, and black. Pazzo's are cheaper in price, do not have the extra roller bearing but you still can adjust on the fly, just not as smooth. I've never adjusted my levers on the fly anyway, I set them and leave them. Pazzo's come in practically ever color combination. I'm going with Pazzo's this time around for My Raven, Red Levers with black adjuster. CRG's are about $30 more for the set, so ask yourself if the addition of the roller bearing in the adjuster is worth the money. Cant go wrong with either product"

They are pretty much functionally identical. If you put them next to each other, the finish looks a bit better on the CRG's. They actually "tumble" them to smooth out the finish before anodizing. Pazzo's look a little more industrial.

The machined look was one of the reasons I like the pazzos, but yea...it sounds like you cant go wrong with either one.
