[MENTION=168227]bashley[/MENTION] - The picture with the brake lever shows a broken base. It is common for them to break when over tightened or hit. Many don't like this lever but it has a character about it that I like to keep around. There should be plenty of them around but may be in the dump! keep an eye out for a replacement. Look on ebay for replacement hoods. I was able to order some from Italy made from the original molds for less than $35.
I would also keep this bike around as a rider after cleaning it up. Good find at a reasonable price.
