Left gear lever help

[iiwemm]

Hi, I'm interested in buying used road bike.

But I have a question for you experts. You see the left sti gear lever seems odd to me, it's way more out than one on the right side. Since I'm not as familiar with sti, could you please tell if it that is a broken lever or something else?

Thanks.

FYI. The shifters on the bike are CAMPAGNOLO ...

• The 'quick release' on the LEFT shifter has been been dis-engaged & THAT is why the shifter's brake lever is in the position that you see in the picture. That is (as shown), the LEFT shfiter is not broken. Have the seller show you how to engage & dis-engage the quick release when you buy the bike.
