For Sale: NOS Suntour GPX calipers £11 each posted. £20 for 2 posted.

I have several available. Both rears but, as I've shown, one could be used as a front when used with a long recessed nut which I will include. The brake fits no problem on a "1 steel fork, should be OK on alloy 1 1/8". Would need to measure up for chunkier carbon jobbies.

£11 each or £20 for both including post.

These are lovely calipers which date from around 1999.

Excuse the naff pictures but the light in my man-cave isn't up to much. Both calipers are short reach, 39-49mm and are in perfect unused condition.

The hidden springs are a pretty cool feature of these brakes

Could you send a pair to Greece?

Sorry not really interested...

Dibs one with bolt for front brake use. PMd.

Nice spot. I'd also wondered about Corkscrew's other thread listing dual-pivot calipers that have also been going for a song at CRC.

Incidentally, both these bit of naked profiteering are cross-posted on retrobike.

Bad form sir! Bad form.

I have now ordered a couple of sets off CRC

Did you wait until after 11am when the price dropped by another 40p?!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I didn't.

Still a good deal just for the pads, especially if you take the cartridge ones

The picture's wrong guys, the ad is for Tektro, the pic is suntour GPX!!

PS I have a proper front if you want a proper pair

No, the pic is right, the words are wrong. I bought from Chain Reaction, what comes in the post is Suntour GPX as in the pic, and the price is £2.45. Bought yesterday, arrived today.

Confusingly, I think they're both right. I emailed CRC for details before they put the picture up and got this in response:

Tektro ST BA-GP00 Brakes 2012 are calipers for a road bike, designed in mind with the older road bikes or to lower end of the market. They would be medium drop and have drop of 39mm to 49mm.They are a dark grey blue colour.
So maybe Tektro are producing them under license and are still allowed to mark them "Suntour".

Didn't realise I'd been flamed over this so let me put my point across.

First of all - the prices included postage and packing as I don't have an agreement with Royal Mail like CRC etc. do so the GPX calipers were closer to £8 each.

1 - The Tektro calipers I had were matching pairs, not random rears which is all CRC had for sale. Ignoring their pricing, £13 + p&p for a pair was cheaper than eBay or any other online store. I only had 3 pairs to shift which I duly did on eBay. Yes, I wish I had put the GPX ones on there as well but I wanted all of my clutter gone so I tried a few forums.

2 - Re the GPX calipers - I had several of these well before the CRC stock appeared for under £3. I priced them at £8 each + p&p. I also offered to include a 35mm recessed nut which cost £1 so call that closer to £7. Somebody was selling them on here for £20 each (posted) so I thought £8 was more than reasonable for a NOS late 80's caliper when you consider how much NOS Dia Compe etc. can sell for.

If you must know, I paid a fiver each for them so I was lucky to 'profiteer' my way to a £2 gain on them. It hardly seems worth having negatives left against me for something so petty but that's the way it goes I guess.

None of them sold on here BTW.

There's not really much more to say on the subject and I don't want to argue the toss over two or three English pounds.
