    Anyone know? They were off a 1990’s cross bike, can’t see makers name other than they have Koolstop pads. They are very light ally red anodised. Cheers

    They look like Curve cantilevers BUT they were widely copied so they might be copies instead.

    See here for Curve cantilevers http://www.bikepro.com/products/brakes/brakecanti/curve.shtml

    They made them for Kona bikes too but not in purple IIRC.

    I think yours are copies. Will probably work as well as any other cantis with the Koolstop pads though.

    I had those in blue!

    Were some cheap brand, trying to remember the name! !

    Bought them because they were blue and cheap…. Didn’t care how/if they worked well. Lol

    Put them on a Popcorn Blizzard frame! Happy days!

    Look like Grafton copies. Plenty of them around in the mid 90s.

    Pretty sure they’re Tektros.

    Tektro! That’s the ones!

    As said though, there were probably many other bands out there.
    Mine were definitely Tektro branded though.:-)
