So, I (barely) started taking this thing apart after work. I had some child labor; he wanted the kickstand. I also found a serial number on the bottom bracket, and discovered a crack in the rear brake lever. Can I ride it with the lever housing cracked, or should I plan on dropping cash on new lever(s)? If they must be replaced, are there some newer components that would work well and still look great? I'm looking for best value without ruining the look. Oh, and the shifters are just plain Simplex shifters.










Looks like the frame points to '72, and the derailleur to '71
