Shimano 600 EX (BL-6208) Vintage Brake Levers

✓ Original levers - produced in the 1980s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked & cleaned
✓ Worldwide shipping

Shimano 600 EX drop bar brake levers (or handles if you prefer), hailing from Japan and in production during the 1980s. Made from aluminum and weighing in at 181 grams - pretty lightweight for brake levers at that time. A fine choice for keeping your vintage bike authentic, but also great for any other compatible bike.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or any other vintage event, these are fully compliant - so rest assured, the pre-1987 police won't lock you up for having the wrong brake levers!

The brake levers have been cleaned, checked by one of our mechanics and graded as good condition, but do take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition before you buy.

▼HELP SECTION

Cable Routing - non-aero means the cables come out at the top of the brake levers, meaning the cables are on show. With aero levers the cable comes out of a small hole by the handlebar, allowing the cables to be hidden under the handlebar tape.

Bar Clamp Size - this should be close to the outside diameter of your handlebars at the point the brake levers will be fitted. This will rarely present a problem with drop bars as 23.8 mm is standard, and a 24.2 mm clamp will fit just fine as they do have a little adjustment in them. There are some older sizes to watch out for but these will be noticeably different.
