Product Description:
This offering is for one matched set of new-old-stock Shimano 600/Ultegra non aero brake levers (Model BL-6400) in a dark gray enamel. Please also note when we say this is a set, we want to confirm the set includes a true right and left brake lever (as Shimano incorporated minor right/left design differences in many of their brake lever models by the late 80's).
These lever sets were in current production from the late 80's through the early 90's and incorporated Shimano's SLR technology, which is an acronym for Shimano Linear Response system. This technology represented Shimano's first real attempt to improve the braking system and it's evident with these levers. I should also note these are probably the best Shimano branded brake levers we have available...and on par (in our opinion) with the high-end Dia-Compe spring-loaded levers we offer (that cost more money). Their spring assisted lever design that results in an overall lively feel and crisp recoil action, as well as the tight pivot point design/construction, really makes for a very nice non-aero brake lever. Additionally, everything we have read about the SLR design focuses on the intent to reduce friction in the braking system and we really do believe this was achieved with these levers (as well as other Shimano levers that incorporate this technology).
We also like the fact that oversized cable housing stops are not needed with these levers, as Shimano designed the cable entry point within the lever body so that a standard/smaller (and much more common) ferrule will seat properly and allow the cable to pass through to the lever (as intended). Their weight is also respectable at about 270 grams (for the set) per our digital postal scale.
As for condition, this lever set is new and unused...and still sealed in double-wrapped plastic bag retail packaging. Note: I removed one of the levers sets from this retail packaging for illustrative pictures (but this lever set has already sold). As a result, my remaining retail packaged sets are still factory sealed (and this is how you will receive one of these offerings).

Note to international customers regarding shipping...
We apologize to those that feel some of our international shipping charges are too high. We only charge actual shipping rates, but once an order exceeds a certain amount, we hesitate to use the least expensive US Postal Services First Class International service. We feel this way, because this service is not trackable or insurable...so more risk of loss. We prefer the US Postal Services Priority Mail International service for more expensive orders, because this service is trackable at USPS.com and insurable...so less risk of loss. Unfortunately, this service is more expensive, especially for smaller/lighter packages, relative to the First Class International service. We are sorry about these higher shipping costs, but hopefully our notes help to explain why this is the case.
Note to international customers regarding customs...
We also apologize to those that feel their country import taxes, duties and brokerage fees are excessive. As a small US business, we are required by customs' laws to declare each order as a retail sale. Additionally, the declared order value must be equal to total store purchases and/or winning auction bids (less any shipping costs, as these are not considered in the declared value). As a result, each customer will be responsible for paying his/her own country taxes, duties and brokerage fees, which will be collected upon delivery. Again, we apologize for these additional costs, but we cannot afford the penalties and fines that come with breaking customs' laws...so we have to strictly abide by them.
