What Cantilevers are These?
Hello. I have this set of cantilevers found in a parts box. What model are these anyway? I have all the pieces for them. Has Shimano brake pads which say M65/T. Had one response on the MTB forum which said they may be Curve brand but I am not so sure. Thank you.

[ETA: and which look to be Curves]
Incidentally, what I meant to imply was that the canti's you have look like they could have been somebody's DIY CNC project -- not that I mean that in a bad way.

There is a listing on Retrobike UK for Curve brakes that look very similar to what you have…including the Straddle cable anchor.

The only other similar set I can see online is kona curves which are £130 on ebay so save yourself some pennies on these as they are just as good! Grab a bargain at £65 posted! Any questions just ask. Cheers.
