Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)But my wife gives them five because she likes their look. As a previous reviewer said, these are great if your goal is to preserve or achieve a retro look. If not, spend a few more dollars and get some Tektros instead.
Pros:
- Vintage-esque look
- They work fine
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- No barrel adjuster
- They seem to flex a bit
- The overall quality is so-so
- They would look cheesy on a modern bike
Their biggest weakness in my opinion is the lack of a barrel adjuster. If you don't have an adjuster at the brake or cable hanger, you can't fine-tune your brakes. Of course that's part of the old-school style and neither the product photo nor description imply the presence of one. It's just one of those things you might not think about before buying but that will bother you in usage.
The bottom line: I would recommend them if you're going for a retro look, but not otherwise.
