This set of Shimano 600 Arabesque brake levers showcases the elaborate, engraving-style scrollwork that defined high-end Japanese road components of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Designed for vintage bicycle restorers demanding period-correct cockpit assemblies, these levers combine precise actuation with a distinct vintage aesthetic.
Key Technical Features
Constructed entirely from die-cast aluminium, these levers minimize weight without sacrificing the lever-arm stiffness required for reliable deceleration. The ergonomic hood body shape is compatible with classic drop bars, allowing for neat routing of non-aero brake cables. To achieve a complete, period-correct drivetrain and cockpit setup, you can pair these levers with a matching Shimano 600 Arabesque front derailleur or couple them with compatible Shimano 600 Arabesque brake calipers.
