Dia-Compe Vintage Road Bike Sidepull Brake Caliper Set Front & Rear
GB
$13
A clean matched front and rear set of vintage Dia-Compe sidepull brake calipers in polished silver — made in Japan by KK Yoshigai (Dia-Compe), one of the most respected brake manufacturers of the 1970s and 1980s. Dia-Compe had a long-standing design partnership with Swiss brake maker Weinmann, and their road calipers share the same elegant forged alloy construction that made both brands so popular on quality European and Japanese road bikes of the era.
