Vintage 1950s Touring Bike Duralumin Brake Lever Eroica LF9

Aluminium Brake Lever for 1950s Touring Bikes

This brake lever is a genuine component for 1950s touring bikes, made in France from aluminium (Duralumin). It shows oxidation (Oxydation: Oui), noted as a visible condition point. Surface corrosion is present and should be expected on an original part of this age. We do not clean or restore vintage parts before dispatch, preserving the patina valued in period-correct restorations.

Why This Lever Matters for Eroica Builds

Parts like this are increasingly hard to source for anyone assembling an authentic mid-century French touring bike. The aluminium body (material: Aluminium) keeps weight down while matching the original spec of many cycles from that era. If you are restoring a Peugeot, Motobécane, or similar French touring frame, this lever offers period-correct function without reproduction compromises. The oxidation is stable and confined to the surface; the lever remains structurally sound for display or careful use.
