They normally come in silver like this:
I think they look great and are v light and work fine.
They don't have quick release which is a pain.
They normally go for a lot of money NOS.
I've seen some on US ebay for £100+
Tour de Ville here has a brakeset for more than £100.
And replacement brake pads are $40 from the states.
However - if you know what you're looking for you can pick them up on GB ebay for less than £15 for a pair including brake pads ;-)
I now have 2 pairs but don't really want to sell them.
I also have a no name/generic dual pivot calliper that has a v short reach - if you're interested I'll post a pic and measure the exact drop.
