Hi...1959 Ideor Asso owner here. Yea, brake levers are not original. Those look like diacompe levers with some kind of MAFAC brake calipers (if the calipers say "Dural Forge", then the calipers are original). I would not repaint. But I agree, seal what you have so it doesn't rust anymore, and ride as is. Just curious: what is the serial number? Thanks. E
