I'm glad I've seen what they look like polished now though, I'll be powdercoating mine for sure!

In the quest for things black & VTR... Would these levers be fully, shockingly, terrible? I'm not sure what material they would be made of? Also not sure if I'd want my front brake lever made of cheese. But look at the price!

I had a pair of long Chinky Pizzos, fit was fine, action was fine, no worries. The red bits can fade over time if they get a lot of sun on them. Shouldn't be a prob in UK thenJamoi wrote:In the quest for things black & VTR... Would these levers be fully, shockingly, terrible? I'm not sure what material they would be made of?

Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Re: Ebay Finds (unusal/cheap/rare/or just good value)
Well I'm surprised, thanks for the positive review! I will hunt out those black adjusters, the red does look rank...

Just as good/bad as any other Chinky stuff. If your buying Chinese. why pay 50 when you can pay 20.

I think I've started to accept Chinese designed/manufactured stuff now due to my R/C Aircraft obsession, they have really taken the market by Storm in the last 2 years with excellent quality & remarkable prices. Kinda made me consider buying other Chinese things and not to always go for the big safe brands.

The levers should be fine but just do some safety checks first ,
Is there a gap between the lever and piston ?
Will the adjuster move when the lever is slapped hard ?

A few pennies more but much nicer in my opinion. Bought a set to put on the "Legends" and the quality was spot on.
Folding, extendable, adjustable, free postage and because they ship via Belgium Post there was no import duty to pay

The front CCT's out, and there's another engine in the background.Jamoi wrote:Engine... Cheaper than a rear tyre! http://bit.ly/GSFLz5
Hmmmm.
I wonder if there might be something going on here?
But a cheap donor engine to rebuild, it's even still got the clutch cover.
Chances are it'll need a head gasket and two inlet valves, and away you go.
Too far north for me to be worth it, but someone will get a bargain, but check what mileage it's got first.....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
