Brake Lever ID
Original equipment on a 1986 Club Fuji. Bike was spec'd with full Suntour Cyclone group and in fact has Cyclone shifters, derailleurs, hubs, and calipers installed but I'm thinking these are not Cyclone. Can't quite make out the lettering but the last two characters look like "GC." I thought that might be for "Gran Comp" but a lot of searching didn't produce a match. Almost certain the hoods are Dia Compe, but I'm 700 miles from the bike for the next week so I can't make a 100% confirmation of that.
I feel like I've come across these before and I'm guessing it will be an easy ID for many on this forum

I couldn't tell you the exact model, but yes, those are Gran Compe levers, kinda what you'd expect on a Suntour-spec bike.

Agc 250?
*edit*
Stupid forum code won't let me type a capital A, and a G and a C in sequence because it thinks I'm S-H-O-U-T-I-N-G.
Trying again: AGC.

It's an aerodynamic "A".
