Hi
Newbie here, greetings all.

Am looking for a Shimano Tourney centre pull front brake caliper, for a 1970s Eddy Merckx bike

One of the springs has broken.

There are 2 sets on ebay at present so might have to buy the set to get the spring...
 
I have one of these, just need to check if it's front or rear though. And where are you located, since I'm not too keen on posting/would rather you collect, if you're local?
 
Re:

I also have one I think. It's got 72S stamped on the back of it. Does that sound like what you're after? I'll take a pic if it sounds like it's right.

Re:

Thanks very much for both of the replies.
Will check the number on the brakes, if it is compatible I will pm you, Wynne
For the time being we have bought the ebay ones as it's partner's only bike at present and has to be usable for a short but busy commute starting with a very steep downhill …
"Hey! Let's be safe out there".
 
Re:

oops
that should have been
"Let's be careful out there"

old enough to remember Hill St Blues...
… old enough to not remember it properly.
