Dia Compe 980 Cantilever Brakeset
Great overall condition and have awesome stopping power.
Straddle cables and fancy Gran Compe quick release cable hangers included.
Kool Stop Pads filled/angled to fit narrower rims, but work great and have plenty of life left.

Interesting customized taper to those koolstop pads. If I recall correctly, the original pads were the four-dot versions. I’m curious, was this modification done to accommodate 700c wheels in place of 27”?
Great set of brakes, have them on a few bikes.
