I am looking for a couple of brakes Cantilever SH XTR in good state. If someone had a pair of it to sell me me send a mail! Among the other things how old it is that don't do them anymore? I have seen on the site Shimano in the section reciprocates that do still a type of Cantilever but not be "branded" (XT, XTR, etc), in the on-line shops however is not found! Someone is there it has him? As it goes?
There's a collector's market for them though, so the prices can go quite high for those that are in the best condition.
Just in case you're not aware, the design of the arms was front-rear specific, shorter for the rear (for better modulation and heel clearance).

I think they were last made in 1995 prior to the release of V-brakes. The XT model was available for a while longer - I bought a set new in 1998 or '99. One of the German distributors still had stock of XTR until fairly recently.
