I have a 1974 (I believe) Mixte. I love it but I have been told nothing can be upgraded. Therefore, I am stuck with the brake levels are existing parts until they eventually break off, which is most likely soon because the things are plastic. Anyway, is there anyway to upgrade these parts? Can the handlebars/stem be replaced or is everything just too....french?
Furthermore, are mixtes in the 80s upgradable? When did the switch to Japanese parts occur?
