The ones I'm referring to are terrible brakes. I don't know about the ones in your photo, but I'd be cautious.
These scissor brakes? Looks like low-end crap to me.



The one fellow who has used the new, aluminum roller cams had good things to say about them. The brake arm fittings also look half decent. Could probably be shaped and polished nicely.
