The front lever looks like it was designed and built by a different team. The machined parts look terrible, and lack the functional beauty of the RD. The stud/ star washer/ nut looks like it belongs on my 1974 snowblower, and using a socket head cap screw/ jam nut arrangement to limit lever travel? Against the Aluminum lever?
That's just my two cents. .
