Anybody know what Canti brakes these are please? Just picked up a 95/96 Klein pulse with some nice upgrades but not familiar with these.

WTB Speedmasters?

WTB Speedmasters?

You may be right after a quick google. Many thanks.

Yes.. 1st generation Speedmasters at that. Very cool brakes.

Also the bike has a wilderness trial bikes saddle and what looks like a WTB titanium bar so the brakes would make sense. They look like nicely made brakes. Thanks!

The bike also came with a nice Middleton chainset with red anodised spider and green anodised bolts.

Have you got a pic of the bar?

Should add.. you got doubly lucky with the brakes. They have the original pads in the WTB anodised alloy shoes. Normally they are long gone. Hope the rubber hasn’t degraded beyond use though.

For your amusement some time, have a search around on eBay for what a NOS set of those pads trades for!

Crap pics as it’s dark but the metal is very Titanium colour. It has an aluminium shim for the stem clamp. I can get some better pics in the morning.

Interesting.. never seen one of those before

I’ve just tested it with magnet and it’s not magnetic so can’t be steel and it’s way off of aluminium in colour and finish so must be Ti.
