It's the "DiIa" spelling that kept everyone else away! "Breake" would've helped too!

I can use em on my build if you don't want em? Name your profit :-\

I didnt even notice the spelling mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shalll be polishing these up to their former glory, some new decals and hardware, then find a bike to put them on
Title: Re: I got a little ebay bargain
Post by: Jaymz on May 31, 2011, 12:59 PM: These arrived today, and too my surprise earlier than thought, date stamped 0783

hardware pretty shot to shit, levers are blue on bottom side and worn silver on top, but surprisingly neither the arms or levers have any sort of major gouges so after ive sourced some hardware these should be a nice set of 1000's

Oven pride, Autosol and elbow grease is the way forward :coolsmiley:
Title: Re: I got a little ebay bargain
Post by: brummie on May 31, 2011, 01:48 PM: :shocked: bargain well done
are they painted white? if they are painted you will need to get a bit of nitromors on em to get the paint off before polishing as oven pride wont shift paint :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: I got a little ebay bargain
Post by: Jaymz on May 31, 2011, 01:50 PM: not painted fella, the arms are raw and the levers are anno'd

Post by: MartyC on May 31, 2011, 02:01 PM: Now I get the comment about the QR rivet :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: I got a little ebay bargain
Post by: Jaymz on May 31, 2011, 06:51 PM: been out in the shed stripping these down and to my disbelief all the nuts just crumbled away, so all that is salvageable from the calipers is the arms and maybe the adjuster

couldnt resist a quick blatt with the polishing wheel to see if they would come up
