Silver or silver and black V brake levers

[Teggers]

As per the title please! I've looked at NOS on ebay and all over and come to totally detest people who use a sniping app. It goes against the whole spirit of the auction. Lost of 3 times to this that slings a bid in at 3 seconds to go so it doesn't allow either me to submit a higher one or the system to register the bid and automatically bid higher. This happened again last night. My highest bid, submitted 12 hours before auction end was more than it actually sold for. It sat at my big door ages then, 3 seconds before the end, sniped. *sotto voce* wish I could snipe the people who do this. With a .50cal browning...

Rant over. I've looked at Avid, Shimano, Tektro mainly and require some NOS or excellent condition silver or black and silver brake levers for my restomod build please. I have either cash or some parts to swap such as
CND canti hangers
XT Cantis
Tange prestige rigid forks
Joe Murray seatpost
Possibly the cranks although I may reuse them.

Theres quite a bit more along with random stuff in my garage for all sorts ranging from a mk2 escort water pump through various ancilliaries for Megane RS models, 200sx bits right up to sets of wheels and a drifty bodykit! I really need a clear out...

The last bid, no matter when placed, does not win the auction! Ebay's system doesnt say, right, you have just entered a bid at the last second so you are the highest bidder until i check all the other bidders to see if they had placed a higher bid earlier so i can then place another one for them it just automatically registers the bid as not exceeding the already set highest bid.

Re:

as above, if the bid goes in near the end it actually adds a bit of time to notify others etc. but the next highest bid needs to be over the bid increment etc.

just bid higher in the first place ;-)


so what brakes are they for and canti and v-brakes are different levers.

Re: Silver or silver and black brake levers

I don't use sniping but have submitted bids with 7 seconds to go and succeeded many times, lost a few though my bid was higher but not enough to meet the increment required.

Re: Re:

Hmm. I definitely bid £20 for a set and they were at 15 for ages till it went to 17 a few seconds from the end. Might have been me as I revised my bid up to 20. I may have mis-tapped. Combo of doing it all on my phone and an internet speed of..... 1meg. Yes. I live in the sticks at the end of the line miles from the exchange.

Sorry. I thought I put that. For v brakes. Will edit. Thank you.

Fair enough. Edited the title thanks and that's a good one too. Although I have experience with a browning .50. One of the top 10 best days ever!

Hey buddy, I’ve got these Shimano Deore units, brand new.
These where purchased for a colleagues wife’s bike that I restored but went with combined shifter units in the end and had to use a canti brake on the back as at 14.5” the frame couldn’t take a rear V!

Still have the plastic wrapper on the lever blades. Selling as one lot for £30 posted

They look great but I'm not really after all black ones. Thank you
