You do like frm components don’t you?

I’m considering swapping my Avid Ultimate Black Ops for a complete set of black FRM DP4 V Brakes for my Bianchi Martini Racing - good choice or bad ?

 

[Mod-Master]

Give them to me and then it’s a good choice….

And don’t forget the Sachs stuff
Love it and usually on my bikes

These are going on the Nth
Sachs Quarz front
Sachs Mars 9.00 9 speed Rear

Well avid are (in my opinion) the best v brake lever manufacturers and the black ops just look awesome. In your case I would go with silver ones. Depends on your budget but there are some for sale I think somewhere here.

I wouldn’t swap them but I don’t know the value of these frm levers.

I’ve never seen that Sachs rear mech.

I’ve never seen that Sachs rear mech.

Its very rare it’s basically a longer caged 9 speed Sachs Quarz
Mars took over the Sachs factory - it was a Sachs management and worker buyout after SRAM took over - and they for about a year made some mechs and other things - amongst these was this 9 speed Quarz mech rebranded as Mars.

The black ops are hideously expensive now too
But I fancied a change and I love the look (and by all accounts the performance and build is very good) of the FRM DP4

Soon coming - Sachs Quarz cantis!!!

 

[ibbz]

Tyres will be IRC Mythos XC with an amber wall

Skewers will be the pinkish FRM ones off the martini racing (while that gets black ones!!)

So just awaiting everything to turn up
1” FRM Headset on and then build the bitch up!
