BITD i always wanted Graftons but couldn't afford them and looking at the ebay sales i still can't afford them

Canti's

Control tech take the biscuit, but £120 for a good set, function wise Shimano XT or Lx take some beating and ease of set up.

My Control Techs on the Rascal are mildly disapointing.

If you are going to ride the bike, then M900 XTR,

Machine Tech cantis were about in 94 and they work pretty well.

In my opinion they don't suit some frames though.
