Hi Y'all!
I'm thinning the herd to finance a new Roadini. Up for sale is my 54 Sam Hillborne, purchased directly from Riv back in 2019. It's been ridden but not much. Saddle and pedals not included. Posting it here, hoping I don't have to go CL. $2500

Happy Holidays!
Ahmed in San Mateo

Ahmed,

How well does your brake set-up work? I'm wanting to run linear pull brakes with hood brake levers myself, just like you. The hood brake levers I have are not long pull, and I'm wondering how they will work with my v-brakes. I'm interested in hearing from those that have run NON long pull brake hood levers with v-brakes.

Scott

Braking is fantastic. I’ve had/have this set up on a number of bikes and it’s always been stellar.

What brakes and levers specifically are you running?

Oh good - those are V-specific levers. They work great!

Yeah, I had the same Cane Creek V-brake drop bar levers on my gallop and they worked great!

PS. If anyone is looking, I have a Nitto noodle handlebar with a short Nitto stem, cane creek v-brake drop levers (poorly) wrapped in brooks leather over Fizik bar gel that I'd be willing to sell (shifters not included).

For anyone wondering, Cane Creek brake components are made by Tektro. The corresponding Tektro branded V-brake drop bar levers are the RL520, and are functionality identical and much easier to find.
