Thanks for all of your thoughtful responses. I certainly believe that Paul brakes are excellent and worth the price. I guess that I was surprised that the price wasn’t for a full brake set. But that is me being out of touch with high quality components. Most likely I’m going to cancel the order and save Paul brakes for my dream bike, whatever that may be. Thank you for your responses.

I could give you my reasons, but they would be no less a rationalization of why I don't buy or use them as those that do. So you're right back to where you are, with a pending order for what you thought was for a complete set but only half. The guys @Riv will understand that.

The Phil cache from the '70s is an excellent analogy to how Paul lands for me: I was fascinated by Paul parts - especially the rear derailleur - during the CNC mountain bike era in the '90s (and still have my BikePro catalogue to show for it). Later as an older dude I was finally able to afford it and here we are. Are Paul parts necessary? No. Does everyone love their CNC look? Also no. I love em and I got em!

... I do have a set of NIB Klampers I considered building a bike around, but went with yet another canti-post bike (a Bruce Gordon, woot!).

I've had the Racers, Mini-Motos, and the touring cantis. The Racers worked well, but I prefer a canti or V brake. The Mini-Motos are fantastic and provide excellent power and modulation, and the added bonus of working with road levers without a problem.

I go back and forth on buying Motolites to replace my Shimano V brakes. I love the look and know that the Paul's work great, but the Shimano brakes really work well. I have had to stop in an emergency and could lock up the rear wheel on dry pavement, and rode in bad conditions (rain, mud and grit) on a northern forest road recently and had no problems. Ultimately, the frugal Scandinavian/Midwest farmer in me has won out and I have resisted the urge (so far).
