All those valve caps and you're not currently using any?

Bars and stem look much better.

Are they V-brake levers?

Forgot to put them back on after tyre change. Actually I am in the market for new pair.

They are v brake levers. Do you object? personally would rather have something more fitting to the style of the bars. But vintage ones are not as sturdy as these.

Aren't they plastic bodies? How is that sturdy?

V-brake levers pull more cable than normal levers. They'll work with your calipers but not very well. Pretty much on or off, with very little control. Non-V levers will work better with side pull calipers.
