This authentic 1970 Mafac brake lever represents a critical period-correct acquisition for collectors and mechanics undertaking precise vintage restorations.

Restoration Benefits & Mechanical Value

Finding genuine, un-restored French cockpit parts is increasingly difficult for classic bicycle projects. This individual lever preserves the exact lever pull ratio and mechanical leverage profile characteristic of 1970s braking systems. For those seeking complementary cockpit components or matching elements, consider pairing this with a period-correct Vintage Steel Touring Bike Handlebar to maintain historical accuracy.

Because this is a pre-owned vintage item, we highly advise close inspection of all product images to assess the specific patina, metal finish condition, and minor cosmetic signs of age. The photographs form an integral part of the description to ensure transparency regarding its physical state.
