Holy Grail of V-brakes & levers !?

M960 don't rattle. And are shiny.

My M950s don't rattle either. But Avid Ulitmate Black Ops still take the biscuit.

Avids, circa 1996 or so. These are my faves, but I never see them anywhere and don't even know the model name. For a mass-produced brakeset they have a clever design and a lot of adjustability. The entire arm moves up and down in the pivot/spring assembly, and there is a 2-bolt clamping system for pad attachment and adjustment-I love how the pad angle is adjusted with the bolt that goes through the split in the arm, very slick. They are on the heavy side, but really well made.

I had a beat-up set and just picked these up, might be the same ones.

It's odd though, I've searched 'avid single digit' and can go through hundreds of images and never see these, I guess they just weren't very popular, or at the time there was little knowlege of the Avid brand.

No, this was a single NOS pair. The guy's playing the profit-via-shipping game.
