There’s never been a direct thread so here goes ,Both levers are NOS but one has been fitted, god ones who or how they removed it but the one lever was damaged,
EBay prices are very high £200 - £300, I’d never heard of these till I was asked to help sell them but they are very lite and nicely made,,,,,as per rules I have to give a price so ……£130 posted and I’d like to keep them in the UK ,,,
First 2 pics are of them fitted a few minutes ago to prove most the damage is hidden
You can view at either cannock or maybe FOD the weekend

Lovely 😍
They look like the later ones so are probably the V brake version?
Can’t believe how butchered that one is 🤦‍♂️
 
It’s unbelievable mate, but a lot of the damage is hidden as shown in the pic , personally I’d use a diamond file on it and find a blue paint match, and use a fine brush, the damage is only a few mm’s
 
Didn’t the V brake ones have 3 pivot positions? I thought this was the canti version…
Happy to be corrected though!
You’re probably right
Mine was an educated guess based on the fact it’s the later logo version so I figured they might be the v version. I have a canti version on a bike but it’s been in storage for a while - I’ll need to dig it out

If they are genuinely canti levers I might be tempted
 
Not sure if this helps but this site says the adjustable lever is for long pull/V-brakes

Pretty sure they are 1st gen, identifiable by the fact that there’s no cable slot down the length of the lever. Second gen had a cable slot and printed logos, third had a 3 position lever slot.

The other thing is the tight tolerances which they were famous for. The only way to avoid that is to undo every bolt, including the lever bolt before fitting.

They are high leverage levers anyway so can be tweaked to work with Vs but have to be fairly tightly set up to do that
