Where to find 3 speed/cruiser parts
I'm trying to find some cruiser or 3 speed style brake levers. They are going to go on the nitto northroad bars (or something similar). I've tried all the places I usually buy stuff for lightweight bikes, but haven't found much. Can anyone give me some links of places to look for parts for the upright bikes?

Do they have to be the old steel-type levers? If so, the eBay seller bikesplus often has Raleigh look-alikes for a cheap price (and sometimes actual Raleighs). Otherwise, just about any mtb levers will do and most will actually work better than some of the Raleigh variants.

If you want to pay postage, I have a pair of gold dot Diacompes, which I think originally came off a Schwinn Suburban. Not in perfect shape, but pretty nice... definitely good for a rider.
I can post pics this weekend if you want.

Bikepartsusa.com has steel levers like that. They used to have aluminum ones too, but I don't see them listed any more.

Just in case anyone finds this post in a search later on and wonders if I still have the levers, they are on their way to a new home!
I am leaving this as a courtesy because I did have someone ask about other parts I had mentioned before... and in that case I did still have the parts.

We sold a lot of our Raleigh and Sturmey-Archer parts inventory to 'bikesplus' on eBay.
He's a good honest guy to deal with and he has a pretty deep inventory.
