I'm rebuilding an old alloy framed Dahon Vitesse 7 speed folder, that I rescued from someone about to dump it at the local tip, to be the canal boat bike Did I mention we've bought a canal boat?! There is talk of paining it to match the boat as I'm sad like that.
I'm after some V brakes (front and rear) and a pair of flat bar levers, so was wondering what people had.
Nice-ish quality would be nice.
Don't mind what colour.
Cheers all.

Re: Wtd: V brakes and flat bar levers
Would 2006 XT Vees and levers work for you? Would give me an excuse to start stripping my old Cadex. PM me if interested.
[Edit: took a closer look...M740 levers and M760 brakes]

Re: Wtd: V brakes and flat bar levers
thanks all for the offers.
The XT ones appeal most - I'm so shallow!
But the Tektros would be good for daughter's pub bike so Greg and Scattamah have PM'd you both.
Lazarus - boat related pm may well follow in the near future!
cheers
