Has anybody had one of these calipers? Apart from the Adjuster & the Quick Release Lever are they any good, do they look good in the flesh?

Cheers

Adam

They look like the cheap knock offs you used to get in the 80's with a dia-compe washer. The MX isn't even engraved-it's painted on

OK, thanks chaps, so what do i use if i want to keep a bike age correct (2011) that is a reissue frame & forks (ie i need a caliper brake)?

how about the dia-compe 883 nippon from porkchop, i reckon they look better than the re issue mx1000.

That would be my first choice or even go for the Bulldog that he has done through Dia Compe too

Have you seen the one on my quad Adam? Re issue but put the old quick release, adjuster and decals, and it works as good as an original which is SHITE!!!!!!
