Re: Old Avid v-brakes (sd 20, 25 or ti?)

I've had a good few pairs down the years but all I have spare at the moment is one pair of grey SD7's with one caliper missing the locating pin for the spring (that fits in to the little hole on the frame/fork). Let me know if it's any use though.

The models you listed all have a fairly similar grey finish (not sure I'd call in a 'Ti finish' as such). In case it's any use, my memory of the different models is:

That they all work much the same (i.e. very well)
The 20 is a more basic model and you see quite a lot of them, the 25 is much lighter and don't crop up often
The lightest ones are the Mags (the Ti arms are heavier), but they didn't come with Ti hardware as standard
The finish on the Mags often suffer from deterioration so most of them look a bit ropey nowadays

I've also had a few pairs, but what can I saw, parts come and parts go I have a set of 25s now, but they're the newer model with a dark xtr grey finnish... we can't have that now can we.. no ideal would be the lighter more exclusive sd 25 brake form guessing 97-98.. I have one pair sd 20 from that era, and the ti like finnish is striking

Might not go for sd ti then, seams a bit expensive as well, there's a set on uk ebay.. sd mags I have had a pair, but like you say, hard to find mint looking ones today.. mine looked way worse than they were.. don't know if they were powder coated or something.. anyhow

Your sd 7, nah, trying to find something a bit more retro first ;-)

Re:

I've got a pair of SD TI levers (new in package) and the matching SD TI v-brakes (light use). All bolts and hardware. Could make a package deal. I'm in the USA though, so shipping won't be as cheap or easy.

Hey.. thanks for taking an interest in this thread I'm in no need of any levers.. but maybe maybe the brakes, if you'd up for selling those alone? I'll get back to you if another deal I have if it doesn't work out.. Regards
