Suntour Superbe brake calipers
Suntour Superbe, recessed mount. $65.00 shipped
These were completely cleaned rebuilt and reassembled with red synthetic grease. The condition is very good, with some signs of usage. Brake pads are shimano replacements, not the originals.

I may be high on the price for these. I've never owned or sold superbe calipers before. I was basing the price on the "ready to use" condition, but I am willing to budge to move these on to another home.

New-ish pads, greased and cleaned superbe. I don't think $60+shipping is beyond the pale. I think most people just enjoy seeing "price includes shipping".

Pretty sure I've sold and shipped a pair of two at this price point. Granted they would have had original pad holders, though that's not a requirement for everyone. Excellent brakes regardless.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I don’t want to be “that guy” posting the huffy for $1,000 dollars.

Your good. Lack of response may just be the low point of the cycle of interest. I have a pair and a pair of the PRO hidden springs. The later are extremely effective for single poll. Nearly rivals the double polls I have.

PM sent, curse this place!! 
I'm already sittting on mint Superbe FD,RD, and shifters. Now I'll have the brakes and just need to find the brake levers and a crank. Then of course I'll need a frame worthy of the parts and BAM yet another bike will have snuck back into the overflowing bike cave.
