I’ve got a set of shimano XT v brakes(and levers) from the same era Johnny is talking about in silver. They rip, and are only out of commission because I’ve got paul motolites.
If someone twisted my arm I’d move them on… and may still with a bunch of other shimano stuff from the same era soon(lx deore v brakes, XTR RD, XT rapid rise, etc). But for purposes of this thread can send photos of silver XT v brakes/levers if someone wants them!
