Abstract
A bicycle speed change lever assembly which includes a lever shift (9) extending downwardly from a mounting bracket (6a) which is attached adjacent an end grip portion of handlebar (1), and a lever pivotally supported on the lever shaft, the lever including a tubular body (7) rotatably fitted on the lever shaft (9), and a control arm (8) extending radially outward from the tubular body (7). The bracket (6a) has a forward extension (6b) so that the lever shaft (9) is arranged forwardly offset relative to an axis of the handlebar (1), and the lever shaft (9) is inclined to have a tip end deviating from a straight line which passes through a base end (9b) of the lever shaft (9) and is perpendicular to the forward extension (6b). This serves a number of purposes, namely to enable speed change operation while gripping the grip portion (2) of the handlebar (1), to enlarge the pivotal range of the control arm (8) to increase the number of speed stages, and to enable smooth pivotal operation of the control arm (8).
