Vintage Brake Lever Eye Candy

[Drdan]

Hello everyone...

I just came across a German MTB site, and there is a thread featuring 7 pages (at last look) of vintage brake levers. The top photo on the 2nd page would make a nice poster or desktop background for your computer...

nice ain't they - but the pivot's a bit crap and wobbly, at least on the later versions with the 3-position pivot. Cool machining though.

I could see that being a problem, however they still look lovely.
I also really like the Kooka ones with the parallelogram (spelling?) type lever were they called Racha? i will look for some kookas for my next bike I think.
