Looks cool mate!  very retro......think you might have to source a blue rear V or go for the Tektro cantis like my purple ones (but in blue obviously)  ::)   It'll finish it off nicely  :daumenhoch:

I think Stodgy has/had a set on his condor.......I had to get mine from the states on ebay......good value though, i paid about £20 including postage for the caliper, matching anodised lever, cables and pads  :daumenhoch:
