First generation Record brake levers: •Body is silver instead of dark anodize •Body has different contour on underside •Top of lever cut at 90° (makes them "long reach") •Contour (curve) of lower part of lever different •Back of lever different contour (more open "U" shape) •Circular hole in back instead of "U" shaped hole for feeding cable through pivot in lever •No washer under nut that clamps lever body to bar
