ISO: Tektro r539 nutted brakes
Hey all,
The last thing I need to complete a build in progress is a set of silver Tektro r539 nutted brakes. Please let me know if you have any sitting unused!
I might be open to other mid reach nutted brakes but I have these on another bike and they've been great.
Thanks!

If you have a pair with recessed bolts, you can convert them using this: Jtek Tektro / Shimano pattern 70mm Dual Pivot Brake Bolt

A new nutted pair will cost ya $55 shipped (plus tax) on eBay, but shipping might take a little while from Taiwan.
edit: Doh! That's for the 359, not the 539. The former looks to be a little cheaper in regard to pads (without Shimano-type shoes) and maybe barrel adjuster, too. Everything else appears to be the same, including arm finish and reach.
I see several nutted rear 539 calipers on eBay ($30ish). Looks more difficult to find a front one.
