Wow, what a memory. Yeah it had Magura rim brakes on from the last owner.
Nice idea except there are no levers to fit road handlebars, and he'd actually snapped the brackets completely trying to force them on. Levers were honestly held on by cableties and tape - not the most secure feeling on a descent!
I heard (maybe on this thread) about drop-levers that Magura made a small number of, now super rare, but in the end gave up and went for a good set of cantis.
So yes, I've got a pair of Magura hydraulic rim brakes I'm looking to sell. Braking fully functional but both brackets on the levers snapped! Anyone who's interested give me a shout.
