General Information
Initial set of brake levers came as a set with the Golden Arrow pattern brakes. These are seen in the 1983 intro brochure, but appear to have been soon replaced (as early as Oct 83) by the BL-Z306-105. These levers appear not to have the oval cutouts that the Z306's had, but instead just a depressed oval shape ~~which may account for the difference in weight~~. However...they are 30 grams lighter than the Z306. The levers themselves do not have the Golden Arrow pattern. Originally came with a set of gum colored rubber covers.
