Yes, an old Dunelt but prime path racer material and it already has the drops. Of course it'll take work; a 3-speed with no trigger is a single speed and those bars will have to be positioned correctly, but the rear fender would likely come off anyway.

I suspect that odd lever is positioned to accommodate right-hand braking, possibly due to a bum left flipper on the guy. I knew a fellow who rode an upright rig with two brake levers on the right along with a barcon and a thumbie for shifting.
