Brake levers?

[rckhpr29er]

Hi All,

 

Have been looking around at fixies and singlespeed bikes as I have recently purchased a track frame and want to build up a commuter bike.

 

Does anyone recognise the brakes in this pic (yes those are real bullhorns!)

In particular I like the levers.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

W.

What bars are you going to be using, those almost look like a pair of TT break leavers ... almost

There was a sale in the classifieds,a guy clearing his garage out.He had a set like these.

 

CRC also have these in stock

Thanks for the reply, I would like to put some bullhorn / pursuit bars. Still early on (in the build) but I like the bull horns with a single disc brake up front. I have seen guys making their own bullhorns using standard drop handlebars and will probably go that route as it is the cheapest!

Yip those are the ones, the cane creek set look like a winner. Will keep a look out in the classifieds. Still doing a bit of saving and research but once I have an idea will post a question to the forum with my ideas.

 

Shot for the link!

I take it the levers slide into the front of the bar, yes? Still a bit of a noob with these type of things. If that is the case then those are exactly what I am looking for.

 

Are they compatible with disk brakes?

 

Do I need to purchase the pair?

 

The track frame I bought does not have mounts on the stays for brakes so I am looking for a rigid fork with disk brake mounts.

These comes from a cyclocross setup. you can use tt levers.
