Carlton Pro Am 12

This is my first road bike build. I bought the frame, bars, saddle/post off eBay - built in 1980, apparently it is one of the last Carlton Pro Am bikes from the Worksop factory before Raleigh moved production.
I have since added:
Campagnolo Daytona crank
Weinmann 500 brakes
Suntour VX front and rear mech
Generic wheels from Taiwan (RD900S)
SRAM cassette

Asking for some advice:
What would be good (and cheap) brake levers to add to this bike? Does anyone make combined gear change/brake levers that look good on an older road bike?
Same question for the pedals?

With that rear mech I think you're best off with 8-speed indexed down tube shifters like Shimano SL-6401 and conventional brake levers. It will be easy and cheap to source used brake levers from Shimano like BL-R400. Otherswise generic brake levers from Tektro will do the job. As for integrated shifters you could try to find Shimano ST-6400 8 speed brifters but these have gone up in price and are getting harder to find in good condition.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to get integrated shifters provided they don't look too weird for the bike.

Handsome frame - downtube shifters especially friction can be married with
all speeds cassettes. I ran old seven speed shimano shifters with a 9 speed shimano cassette for many tours and general hacking about . I encountered no problems and enjoyed the simplicity.

Hi - I wondered what you thought of those wheels? I've seen them on eBay, have you any sense of the quality? Cheers!
