The Grenluille brakes are inspired by the Mafac Criterium brake, or perhaps by the much loved and super expensive German/Lithuanian Froglegs brakes. In any case they are made in Taiwan in a shop owned by a very innovative fellow named Robert. Robert is not just a manufacturer, but an inventor and lover of esoteric bike components. We hope to have more products from him soon. In any case, $35 gets you a whole bike's worth of brakes and all the mounting hardware you'll need, including those very nice hangers. The finish is that sandblasted silver that's lately the hot look in Asia. Still, what a deal! |
