NOS Universal 'Team' brakeset, comprising short drop calipers in lovely steel blue/silver colour and non aero brake levers. Hoods have some discolouration but are flawless otherwise and still supple, the blades are thermoplastic rather than alloy.
Calipers are absolutely stonkingly spangly new & unmarked, super tight and have quick release mechanism.
Would be keeping these but the drop is just too short for the bike I wanted them for :o(
Includes the original inner/outer cable set too

Lovely! I'll check the drop of my Hugh Porter frame and let you know but I reckon they could be too short for me too :(

Sorry forgot to comment yesterday.
But my frame has been surely built for 27" as the reach is massively long :(

Yeah, I've lengthened the slot on a pair of shimano 57mm brakes to fit my Carlton so I can run 700C, I can put up with the out of period looks as I actually like decent braking. These would have been perfect but in similar vein to yours the drop just isn't long enough even with 27s in..

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
