Why have two brake levers? They provide no extra hand-position as they would on drop bars...is it for looks? Strange set up..

would you rather have only one? lol that would look pretty funky .

One is for safety..Girlfriend's command :( , another is for balance of control. There are still have enough space for hand-position. Many people also set up like this way as using this handle bar. I have tried to use bar-end type TT brake levers. However, they cannot use on it.

I think its strange that pretty much all your bikes have brakes and you think this setup is strange? One lever would make it look strange. It balances it out with two, Nice Bridgestone!

It's strange because only one is functional, i.e. connected to a brake caliper, on the front fork. Some fixed gear riders, including myself, run both hoods on drop bars even though only one worked as a functioning brake. This is to gain a third hand position - on the hoods. Unless this rider has rear rear-facing alien wrists, it's impossible to do just that. So my only point was, why have the second lever if it's not doing anything, functionally?

it looks inharmonious if only one lever was built on the handlebar. good looking is more significant than functional. oh man you are so serious~

Hi, quixoticle~ I understand what u r saying. This is the only way that I can use brake levels on this handle bar. And I don't use the hoods, so it does no matter. The main reason why have the second level is to keep both side balances when I use the aerobar. This is because this vintage handle bar is so fking heavy. It cause the front wheel very easy to turn to one side. So, when I switch from base bar to aero bar during cycling, the front wheel will turn to left side if I only have the left level. the left side of the handle-bar is bit heavier than right side. I hope that u can imagine that situation. Of course I hope I can use the bar end type brake levels, but...I can't. Size problem.
