thanks for the help.
I live in Basel. I have never rode a bike without brakes....I just report what the man said in the shop....he said many people (in Basel...I am not talking about switzerland, maybe in geneve they weren't that strict) had to pay because the police found them without brakes. And they had to pay...it was not like the police 'didn't pay attention'. And I can believe that, it is not unusual that the police pays attention to such details.
Anyway I am not willing to pay that much money because I have one brake or none....is too big risk.
Let's leave the powder coating, the law and everything apart....last question: I like these levers very much

But they will fit 22.2mm handlebars. I know that the one from the Fuji classic track is listed as 26mm, which should be the diameter in the stem point. The rest of the handlebar would be then 23.8mm ? Is that lever 100% not compatible with the handlebar or will it fit anyway? I know fuji has drop bars, of course i would put the brake lever on top.
