So would these be frowned upon if bought for an old school build or will they look ok for a tidy rider?

balls

& I haven't even bolted my bulldogs to the frame yet
wasn't bothered about being 'era-correct' to the point of parting with nos DC brakes but wouldn't these have been a bit better in performance terms?

they're pretty cheap too, only a bit more than the £20 I paid to alansbmx

I was thinking of running a set on my dp project as 901s and 880s seem to fetch top money from what Ive seen, the dp has tuffs so Im not expecting the brakes to be super effective anyway? lol

Might save up for 901's if these are no good.
