Hello,
I'm currently working on a lower end Gitane from the early 70's. It has a cast alloy Pivo stem and steel drop bars. Mounted on the drop bars are a set of Weinmann brake levers. I was wondering if you all could help me identify which levers they are:
- blades are dimpled, not drilled, with a recessed oval near the top front. In this oval is the remains of a red metal sticker. Roughly half of it is gone on one, fully gone on the other lever. The remnants of 'Weinmann' can be see though. There's also an engraved arrow starting from just above the oval, pointing to the top of the blade.
- "Made In Switzerland" is engraved on the outside of the lever, visible when it is pulled.
- extension levers installed with "Dia-Compe Pat. No 862645" engraved on the back of the lever.
I don't see any other markings.
Thanks
