Overall:

Fixie rider's friend
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Expensive, Unadjustable, Not Enough Features, Poor Fit
"Very popular with fixed-wheel cyclists, not only BMX riders. Powerful action, and can be operated easily with just one finger. The only problem is that the clamp is not big enough to go around the bulge on a 31.8mm handlebar. On my bullhorn bar, I have to position the brake level so far to the side that it almost interferes with my normal hand position. It works, but only just."

Ace lever!
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Bulky
"This is a great one-finger lever. So hard to find an all silver lever for my fixie, this is pretty much the only choice. I put off my decision to buy it for ages, partly for cost and partly because the mounting bracket on the handlebars is pretty chunky. However, having fitted it and used it a few times, its ace. Probably worth the money as it looks and feels real high quality, so I am hoping it will last forever! Highly recommended."

An effective lever
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit, effective
Cons: Bulky
"I bought this to fit on my Fixie. It is reasonably small and unobtrusive and quite good value. I just have a front brake fitted and I have yet to have a problem stopping myself using this lever. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the bracket seems to be a lot chunkier than it needs to be. I'd like to see something a little slimmer."

Small and compact
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Good Fit
"I really like this lever, but pulling the brake with only one finger is slightly an odd sensation and you don't know if it will brake strong enough.
No issues with it at all just prefer a full hand brake."

Great Buy!!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality
"If you are looking for great quality and lots of style you need go no further. Designed for use with just one finger but don't be afraid it works just as well and as easily as any regular lever."

Finally with all-silver look
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Bulky, Limited Color Choices
"I had been looking for an all silver bmx-style brake lever for my fixed-gear. I like how the goldfinger looks and feels. It has a very unique style compared to many other brake levers. It also comes with a shim to help fit the brake lever to bars of different thickness. Very nice!"

Good little brake lever
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices
"Good, solid brake lever, comes with shims to fit the majority if handlebars out there. The 'gold' colour is more of a FordFocusST orange though. Very chunky looking so best suited to the modern bmx/fixed/freestyle bikes."

good product, just depends on your brakes
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, Good Fit, simple
Cons: Unadjustable, Limited Color Choices
"just got these a few days ago for my fixed gear that has track drops with a 25mm bar, so it fits nicely by the stem, i find them realy nice i dont need any more than one finger to brake, with a nice lubed short cable its easy to pull, so if your brakes are abit stiff you wount realy like them, you need nice new cables and tip top brakes, if so they are awsome, also looks like they would fit on my bmx bars on the bend
only probly was that the barrel adjuster wouldnt moove to get my cable in, ended up chewing my cable up abit, had to use plyers to clamp on and tern them, later on some wd40, gt40 then a drop of oil got it moving
but the clamp pivot thing to put on the bars is very handy so you dont have to get your grips off to put on the lever"

"If you're looking for a compact, versatile lever, then this is it.
Can be mounted on riser bars using the shims included, or attached to the flat part of the drops.
Top quality lever. I only question why it is MORE expensive than it's bigger brother, the 'dirt harry'."
