I'm on the hunt for a set of Mafac canti brakes (braze on) and matching levers.

Willing to pay a decent sum.

Must be willing to post.

Cheers.

I have a pair, with levers, from the 50s or 60s. I got them on the bay a couple of years back and never fitted them (the frame is still awaiting building up). I'm moving house today so can't do pics, but if you're prepared to stump up the right wedge I can probably be persuaded to let them go...

Having re-read, you want cantis. Mine are centre pulls. Sorry.

I have Mafac canti brakes w/ mafac blocks. With either mafac half hood brake levers, or the old touring style mafac levers. Pretty old, but working fine. PM if interested.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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