Description

Every vintage touring bike project needs the right brake lever, and the Mafac LF5 delivers period authenticity in a compact, functional package. This used lever dates from the 1970s and was a standard fitting on countless European drop-bar bicycles. The photos form an integral part of the description—please examine them to assess the precise condition—while minor cosmetic traces like fine scratches are typical of a component stored for decades.

Essential details for your restoration

The LF5’s light alloy body strikes a balance between low weight and the durability needed for regular use. Its classic lever shape pairs naturally with drop bars, and the geometry was designed to work with centre-pull or cantilever brake systems—the standard on period touring machines.

For a matching set, consider the Mafac brake lever from a 1970 Peugeot touring bicycle. If you prefer a slightly different feel, the WEINMANN brake lever provides an alternative period option.
