  • Anyone got a pair of old style road brake levers for sale, the kind with the cable emerging from the top of the lever? Make not important but in working order, preferably with hoods. No suicide levers please.
    Thanks.

  • If you can hang on for a week and go to Chalfont Jumble next Saturday, I know one of the stallholders there will definitely have some for less than a tenner, including hoods.

  • I've got a nice pair without hoods (resin bodies so not that uncomfortable without the hoods) the alloy levers are completely unmarked, yours for the princely sum of £4.50 posted

  • ^got a photo?

  • okay, not quite 'totally unmarked' but you get the gist, basically I'm getting just shy of a couple of quid for them after postage
    Sold to that man#

  • Just for info, suicide levers can be unscrewed, then the central pivot removed and the threaded part cut off, leaving no trace when re-assembled (depending on your engineering craft skills).

  • Got a fantastic pair of these. Anodised dark grey. Springs are in great condition and so are the genuine Shimano black hoods.

  • I've a pair of drilled Weinmann with (grubby) white hoods: free of charge if you get a gold star.

  • Choices, choices.... Right.

    PP: I like those. How much?
    Mr B: If 1st choice too much then I'll take yours.
    SS: Weinmanns good also but how does one get a gold star?
