Hello;

I shot my Mafac collection.

http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/ville_1.jpg The existence of the ball of the end is not help to distinguish between the lever for adult and it for children. It shows only the age. With the ball is the later model. Without the ball is the early model.

http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/ville_2.jpg The lever body for children is slightly small than it for adult.

http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/ville_3.jpg http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/ville_4.jpg The lever arm for children is slightly short than it for adult.

http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/guidonnet.jpg The three types of the Mafac guidonnet levers that I own.

Please do not despise my "Japanese style collection".
