Even the M732 where SLR (wide profile) you of course needed the SLR (aka self returning) brake levers and to set the spring in the SLR position in teh cantis.
Then the M734 where classed as Super Low profile as there is a position in between I guess (probably what is just called mid profile)
anyway this brought along the Servo-Wave 'SLR Plus', these where an option along with M732
Plug site so you can see for yourself

yes, 732 are still wide and 734 low. 733 is the ubrake. looks like in 1991 both wide and low were "correct" or maybe the 734 came out late in 1991?
732 on a 92 frame or 734 on a 90 frame is a clear no though
i like the 732s so much and don't like the 734s at all that i wouldn't care too much...

Cheers guys,
So we are saying that for a 92 frame we are looking at 735s then... with 91 being 732s and 734s being available late on.. is this correct, ?
Its just that the 732s (wide profiles) are nicer looking and lighter than the 734 and 735s is there any major mechanical or technical benefits over the wide vs the narrow... ?
TIA

'92 just get M900's ... far better looking 
BR-M735, no such thing as far as I know.
I think 'mombat' is just the Groupset Year, so 91 stuff would be available in late '90's
Much like you can buy 2009 groupset stuff now.
Anyway, if you had asked, what 1992 Shimano groupset stuff should I use I would point you to this

Technical benefit is you don't crack your heels/legs/ankles on the rear canti's

Yea I would normally go M900, but I want to spec this bike all XT 
but I have a choice of either low profile 734s or the older 732 wide profile's .. not sure which I prefer.. the 732s are black and look really really nice, and lighter than the 734s, but the 734s are shiny and are more period.. neither of which are particularly good stoppers , but want to keep XT throughout.. .. decisions.. decisions.. :?
