Abstract
Apparatus for attaching a stay for a brake lever to a handle bar of a bicycle in which a non-ferrous metal or synthetic resin stay pivotably supports a brake lever through a pivot shaft by a fastening band mounted in a cavity portion formed in the bottom of the stay. A spacer is mounted within the cavity portion and has first support elements for abutting against the handle bar and second support elements for engaging the pivot shaft such that when the band is secured to the pivot shaft frictional engagement is obtained between the first supporting elements and the handle bar and the stay becomes secured to the handle bar through the spacer.
