It's galvanised steel but so won't rust, made by a company but hard to get as no longer made etc.

I have seen those roof bar ones, they don't look very strong.

Hope you got to see it.

This just gets better Kevin!!

Big brakes always give folks in the know a little twitch....

The calipers look a little "too" well hidden though? maybe a repaints in order, and some funky coloured bells (so to speak)

Na removed from a car my mate is putting back to standard, although I did sell it to the lad a few years ago so weird that I ended up with it again.

Apparently there's a flocker local to me but not tried them yet.
