I've got the stem in silver - it is for sale - 1-1/8th 150mm £50 posted

there was a spate of the levers for sale about 18months ago. comes in waves I guess.

Oh hell...these would go perfect with my color scheme, i may have to pull the trigger

These levers are missing some bits that render them....useless.

Proud winner of useless levers

nice one. i think they went for half the price of those blue ones.

maybe this guy can help with brake cable adjusters...

oh man i wanted those so bad but the kookas use M5 thread like shimano derailleur size. im having a hell of a time finding decent ones to match but it will happen


the other thing that concerns me is the fact he said the "screw and wedge" to attach them is missing. i have an older kooka lever here and there is only a screw and it looks like something else may be missing in the pic so i wonder if this generation of lever is different or something

im wondering why the lever portion appears to be black

also, they dont look like the cable hole is the "v brake" positioning, seems just like my old canti versions...which doesnt matter cause im gonna pair them with my purple control tech canti's i think

p.s.- they shipped today so i should have here by the weekend

it could be two different sets of brake levers and he's used the levers from one set...

i really like the 3dv and black look.

that dude selling brake adjusters might be able to machine some up. you're in nyc so there are a few machine shops out in brooklyn that i checked out when i was there.

no doubt it will be an easy sort. they are v. nice looking.
