Wanted: Deep drop calipers and flat-bar levers

Hullo,

After the above for my girlfriend's bike. Calipers need to be 65mm drop (old Raleigh town bike, massive clearances!). Not bothered about condition or colours of either calipers or levers, so long as they're useable quality (Tektro R-series or similar). I can make sleeves to fit various bars so not concerned with bar clamp diameter (Raleigh proprietary bars are narrowest around) . Nut fitting essential.

Please PM me, these threads get lost quite easily...

Still after both of these.

The main essential is a front caliper, the rear and the levers can wait.

I fit them to a frame he got which turned out to be bent. He then got a new frame which took standard reach so they are un-used pretty much.
£15 for pair?

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.
