I'm curious as to whether or not anyone knows who makes this brake lever or if anyone makes one like it. I know the bike in the image is a Montreal-based company called Bassi that primarily sells through the shop in the same town called "C&L Cycles" however I emailed them and received no response. I appreciate any and all help! Thank you!
Here is another image of the brake lever on the bike
It's almost certainly a Gran Compe SHOT LEVER two handle brake lever. This description matches quite well and there's some comments on Bike Forums.
Simply, both levers operate the same brake, but on a narrow bar where you don't have room for two levers for two brakes it's a good compromise.
It is a Gran Compe Shot Lever from Dia Compe. I have one on my Stelbel fixie, and one on my Colnago single speed. They work fantastically; however, the photo at the bottom (white handlebar tape) has the lever mounted backwards. Make sure the long arm goes across the stem.
