Hello Moto lovers looking for the perfect turkey lever, plasti-grip ready-command center.

Weinmann levers, SR stem and Pivo bars...no bends. Barely scratched grip and not much wear...they must have made those to last.

How about $40 plus shipping? If anyone has a really good idea for shipping them cheaply I am all ears.



Ooo....nice

Will polish well, methinks.

Also,

Might have a DS Motobecane Takagi crank arm/rings, Weinmann Vainqueuer CPs, and Sun Tour ratcheting shifters depending on the owners preferences for rebuild. PM if interested in the original items, and I will let you know.

This is from a 1978 MB GT that is being converted to a straight bar gravel/road hybrid.

If you ever decide to break up the assembly, I'd be in for the stem. Got a length measurement for it?

I can check that for you. I hate to cut through that beauteous plastic though...

Quite the dilemma, I know.

No worries if not. If so, let me know what you want for it.

Maybe someone else will come along and want the whole package.

edit: Just remembered, that setup likely has threaded inserts instead of brake lever clamps. If so, the stem can't slide off without destroying the rivnut.

Yep. I'd have to destroy it to get the stem loose. Still hoping someone needs one...make me an offer!

That plastic sleeve will slide off. It takes some doing, and a can of lube with a spray-tube, but it'll come off, mine did. Went back on the same way.

And those brake levers might well have a band, the pic shows what looks like a bit of a bump where the band would be; would be pretty easy for the op to tell.

You are correct! However, sleeve is proving problematic. Might just have to sacrifice the wrap.

Sent to Satan's demons for installation using the sludge from the bolges... then sent to those of us in the 6th circle of Dante's Inferno as punishment for using Cateye cellotape instead of Benotto.

Honestly, I think heat to expand the plastic then in cooling it shrinks.

I don't think so, the moulding lines are too nice - fake stitching and all. That and the sort of rubbery plastic they use doesn't feel like a heat-shrinkable materiel to me. I think they are that size and shape as manufactured - by themselves they hold the drop-bar curves.

There is a trick to using the spray-lube tube. You want to get lube as far down as possible, so open a gap at the edge of the wrap and force the tube by itself into your gap and as far as you can get it. THEN attach the can and give it a squirt. Take off the brake levers entirely, leaving only the band, stick the tube in from there as well.

Still interested in the stem if you decide to separate. Measurements?
