Suntour Superbe Pro drilled brake levers
These are fine looking levers. I wish I had a build to go around them but I know there are many others looking to complete a superbe build. Asking $30 shipped.

For those of you needing the bushing nylon washers for the levers please contact me. To find replacements for my damaged levers I had to order 1000 of these. They seem to be made of unobtainium. But I have found a source and a way to make the new ones. Smiles, MH

Hmm, do you have a pic? I ask because I have a set of these levers/brakes that are not being used, and I wonder if I should take this opportunity.

Ditto. I’ve not seen the part you’re talking about. Does it serve as a ferrule for brake housing connection at top of lever?
thanks,
thanks,

Noobinsf, and JT1973,
Here is a picture of the shoulder washer that is used as a bushing, and a centering washer for the levers. With use (and through damage) the levers wear the bushing down and they become a bit sloppy in the pivot area. I have to do some hand machining of the washers, so the set of four will be at a cost of $10 (enough to replace one set of levers) plus shipping. HTH, MH
