What kind of brakes are these?
 

I recently started riding bikes and for my first bike I chose a fixie. Good stuff, its kicking my sss and having me asking for more. I wanted to change my flatbar to a drop style. Browsing online, I saw this. Is that two brake levers on one base thing or are those shifters? If not, is there such thing?

Those are brake levers as well, they do make brifter combos but they don't look like that.

They're called safety levers. That way you can brake from two hand positions. They don't work very well, and look pretty goofy.

Those are simply old drop bar brake levers (non-aero) with the incredibly useless and unsafe "safety" levers. Extremely common. Fortunately, those extensions can be removed. Those brake levers will work with caliper brakes and cantilevers, but should not be used with V-brakes.

I believe they were also called suicide levers
as the cheap metal would break leaving you SOL.

Those are auxilary brake levers.Brake/shifter combos are refered to as brifters and look like this

Yeah youre right, they do look kinda crazy. are they removeable? Might still buy this just cus its cheap.

BTW if that stem really does measure 22mm (and not 22.2mm), it's off a French bike and should not be used with a 1" fork.

Unless, of course, you don't like your teeth.

Teeth are for suckers anyway

25 is overpriced for that.
