I had a nearly unused Tri color group sans the levers that I installed , [MENTION=385155]Brewsmith[/MENTION] sold me the 6401 dual pivot brakes which while not original are IMO superior to the original 6400 single pivots. Sadly I gave up trying to find a decent set of brake levers and used some new Tektro levers .

I also want to thank [MENTION=347071]TXsailor[/MENTION] for giving me the flat downtube adapter plates for my 6400 shifters.




I'm glad the shifter bosses I couldn't use got used on such a nice bike!
