Those cheapo Lee Chi brake levers are pretty cool though

The lee chi levers and the RH thumby are the parts I wouldn't put straight into bikeworkshop scrap bin

Maybe the stem, if it isn't 21mm.

And the little roller for the rear brake cable - not because its worth anything, but it has a certain functional charm.

The rest is better recycled.

I like this, would be a good city bike
