For sale, a pair of caliper brakes off my steamroller. I'm moving to a cross-check, so need to get v-brakes, or cantis.
They're Tektro R538, 47mm - 57mm drop. Glossy black.
I'm not sure how old these are, they arrived on the 'roller when I bought it off ebay. But they look in excellent condition, not least after a bit of a polish tonight to remove road dust :-)
I have bought new pads for them - yep, I originally assumed I could put them on the cross-check, but no! The new pads are fitted, they are in blue. However, only the rear ones were worn, the old front ones are OK and could work as spares, so they are included, and in the photo below.
Going new on Chain Reaction for £40 for a pair... offering them up at £25
I'm in London (Mile End, E3), but these are very post-able!
