Sorted Dia-Compe cantis, ideally silver - 985/986/987 or other?

[Rod_Saetan]

After a full set of good condition cantis, I may be swayed by something more Chi-chi than Dia-Compe but no Shimano please.

TIA.

There is a German retro mountain bike shop called mtb-kult.de, and the guy is selling a full set of NOS 987s in titanium finish for 30 Euro. He has black and silver for more.

I don't know what shipping to you would be but 30 Euro always struck me as a good deal for these.

I have a a set of silver 985s with pads. Full set. They appear unused and unmounted. Plastic caps and springs are there but no mounting bolts...
Can PM pics if you're interested.

I ask for the set £45 shipped with registered priority mail.

I'm intrigued. The ones I have look different....were there two versions?

Now I'm questioning which 985s I have stashed away for my Aende. It it's not the ones with holes, then I need to change them as they would fit the build much better!

I have a set of 987 new in box… iirc. Not sure if you are sorted yet, but pm if you’re interested. Would have to check on colour

Sorted, thanks all.
