I'll go with the most obvious one.
Where it says "brake" for the brake lever, that's technically the hood.

I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I believe you can just take off the stem and measure the steerer tube.

measure from the crown race to the top nut on your fork, that will get you close.

Being that there are both front and rear derailleurs, there should be (2) shifters (plural), instead of 1shifter (singular).

That same logic would apply to brakes as well but considering it is a 2 dimensional drawing, I think the second set of levers and brakes is implied.

ahh, but there is only one chainring, so the front shifter is unnecessary.
