Just to prove my love for the Dia Compe 986, I just finished a build of a custom frame. Total price in the $4000 range:






Brakes spec'd: Dia Compe 986 to Campagnolo Centaur flatbar shifters.

EDIT: I polished these brakes for over 15 hours and removed, with a file, flash seams that roundly followed the entire outline of each casting. They never were as beautiful as these are but the potential was always there and they were designed to look like this.
