Found a set of these on Ebay and was wondering if anybody knew anything about them. They look a lot like Tri-Aligns or onza HO's, which both work pretty well, but I know a bunch of 90's cnc stuff was prone to cracking... plus $150 seems a bit high of a price for these. I've been looking for a cool set of canti's for a while now, and cant seem to find the right ones. I like how adjustable this stile of canti is, and was considering WTB's for a while, until a bunch of folks mentioned they're prone to coming unadjusted and cracking. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I would not at that price
there are a bunch of NOS WTB brakes on ebay that pose themselves as new, I bought a pair and they suck. and they don't come with the right hardware or instructions they have the same pads as the set you are referring to.... I always wonder if half this stuff is knockoff material made by LI CHI or someone - feeding into the retro/vintage frenzy nowadays |

I used to have some M900's on my touring bike, and they worked pretty well. I was just interested in something a bit wilder looking.

Agree with TVC, Paul brakes are great, IRD switchbacks which are a pain to setup but earn your love when you pull on that lever.
