Likely the same (rebranded, modified) brake levers, plus shifter bosses.
Hahaha it does look like "Cholo". I would love to get some Retroshift shifters, as I think they look awesome. However, I think they are overpriced if bought new (I've scored perfect condition 105 5700 brifters for under $100 on eBay). I've actually searched for them a few times on eBay in the hopes of scoring some used. No such luck
