Description
Easily one of the best made and performing cantilevers of the 1990s the Dia-Compe 987 was a variation on the earlier 985 and 986 brakes. Easy to set up and adjust, lightweight, well finished and not prone to cracking like some chi-chi brakes of the era it was hard to justify spending eight times as much on a set of Californian made brakes that wouldn’t be as good. In the original box with all the bits you need including pads.
