Every sale helps refurbish and donate bikes to those in need through Bicycles for Humanity Colorado. Each item has been professionally inspected, thoroughly cleaned, carefully refurbished, and is ready for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese Shimano Ultegra BR-6500 dual-pivot rim brake calipers represent the 9-speed Ultegra generation at its finest — a polished, silver aluminum construction that delivers excellent stopping power with a refined feel that serious road riders appreciate. The model number BR-6500 is clearly stamped on the inner face, confirming this as the highly regarded 6500-series Ultegra, made in Japan. The calipers feature Shimano's dual-pivot geometry for superior modulation and power over single-pivot designs, along with the classic quick-release lever and tool-free pad adjustment hardware. Brake pads show moderate wear but are still functional, and the caliper arms and pivot hardware are clean with only light signs of use. This set is an excellent choice for a vintage road build, a period-correct restoration, or any rider who wants proven Shimano performance with classic silver aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; font-weight:600;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;\"\u003eGood - Some Signs Of Use, Fully Functional And Ready To Install\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; font-weight:600;\"\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;\"\u003eBrake pads show moderate wear but remain functional.
