WTB brake levers like these

Hi,
Hoping you guys can help me, I am converting a drop bar to a commuter for my daughter and am looking for something like these, they don't have to be perfect.
Please pm me with price including shipping and condition. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ben

I had no idea brake levers were so pricey.

I just reached my Dia Compe levers from my '71 Raleigh with a Velo Orange City Levers $13 & look identical.

Going find any 70s Schwinn. I would just do the Velo Orange because their basically the same things.

I just paid for a pair but they are mis0matched (one Weinmann, one Dia Compe, no big deal but the center pivots are anodized red for one and gold for the other). They were MUCH cheaper so PM me in about a week and I can probably cut you a very cheap deal if you can wait. BTW they came with clamps for the smaller bars (22.2mm) and the larger (23.8mm) so I assume you're using the smaller, true?

I got a pair in the mail today. PM me if you are still looking. I was going to keep them on-hand for some "project in the future", but that's no reason to hoard!
