OK, here is the 1995 tech manual for those:

I could not locate the color catalog from that year. (I'm a lousy librarian )
In the 1994 book, Athena uses a nylon main shift lever.
In the 1995 book that lever is a Chorus (aluminum) part (#EC-CH028, EC-CH029.
The 1995 Veloce, Mirage and Avanti shifters all have their own part number for the Ergo main shift
lever, which ,IIRC, is nylon.
And here's the last time this year I will beat this dead horse: It sure would be nice if someone
besides Shimano (Hey, you listening there in Vicenza?) showed a little consideration and marked
their products with the model number on the part. A Shimano shifter is either an ST-6500 or an
ST-6501 and you don't have to guess which because the number is molded into the lever!
