Howdy....

The seller of theses brakes sells (often damaged) bikes & parts at grotesquely inflated prices; I have inquired about obviously bent bikes & frames (he currently wants $300 for a Varsity w/ a bent frame & fork!); his employees just laugh about their boss's obvious lack of contact w/ reality.....short answer- someone got ripped off, but obviously has enough money to not care about it....

Guess I'll be charging people for RACER brakes in the future....Jeez, I usually donate them to a local non-profit org...from now on, only $100/set......:)
