Those brakes are the best AM/FR/DH brakes EVER made. It's what Gregg Minaar ran the first time he was world champ riding for Honda. He didn't have a brake sponsor at the time so could run whatever he wanted, go figure The only problem I had when I had a set was that you had no lever position adjustment. Other than that, with a few changes that bike would make an awesome AM bike. Bit too old to be chucking down drops and things now, have a good look over the frame for any cracks as if it's as old as it looks it might have been through a lot of use, gentle as it may have been...
