This is a like new Shimano BR-R600 front long reach (57mm) brake caliper. It was installed on my fixed gear bike for a few months. It allows you to run fenders on your fixie which is pretty important in this town if you want to ride your bike all winter. I upgraded both pivot bolts, pivot bolt nut and cable stop bolt with titanium bolts as well as replaced the brake nut with a nice aluminum version. I also replaced the stock non toe adjustable brake shoes with the adjustable version and have installed new pads. The caliper comes to 173g on my scale which is a nice drop from the stock 190g. I removed the Shimano logo from the front for aesthetic purposes. This is an Ultegra level part and one of the nicest long reach calipers you can buy. I am asking $50. There is a picture up on craigslist.
