Hi.

I'm a bike noob....My girlfriend just bought this '87 Fuji and we didn't notice that one of the shifting levers was put together wrong(?). So far they seem to work ok, but I want to set it right anyway. Below are some pics of both. My questions are:

1. is this an important thing to repair (we'll want to do it regardless but is there harm if we were not to?)
2. Is this something a novice can fix? just loosen, wiggle, tighten? or would it mess up the tension in the line? (and require a pro to help re-adjust)

Thanks a ton!
