One for the vintage enthusiasts... shimano 600EX brake set in its original box. Consists of BR-6208 calipers (short 49mm drop) and BL-6208 levers - drilled, non-aero + original cables. Never used or fitted to a bike the gum hoods are in perfect, non-perished condition. Very rare in this condition as a set and just the job for a l'eroica build for example.
Asking £165 ono inc special delivery to UK addresses.

I've actually used a set of these on a tourer with the std drop calipers. The looks are fab & plenty enough power, good modulation/feel in all conditions.

cheers, and wery true, I have a pair of the calipers, long reach version, on my road touring bike, they're really nice brakes with plenty of power to stop a bike with panniers on :-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
