It was after posting I noticed the front on the first page Must have been pretty hard to find those :? more a UK thing.
Though that said I know everyone had them if they rode professionally . Still cant be many nos about out your way.


Ive also a pair of the non cnc lever blades. Not a lot of them either :?
Have you seen the short wide lever blade ? the one with the threaded hole in the end ?
