Item: 8" Shimano Saint brakes, Hope-Shimano rotors.
Where you purchased it and how much: eBay store, $280 brand new posted both ends.
Bike it is fitted to/type of riding it is used for: Giant Faith, used for Downhill.
Good: Looks, feeling, power, lever blade design, weight, bling....oh screw it, EVERYTHING!
Bad: NOTHING!
Your opinion: Easily the best brake I have ever used.
(here is where you put your big long explanation why you think it is good/bad etc.): These brakes are so good. They are very responsive, very powerful and have great modulation so you don't skid down the hill instead of stopping! I was riding these babies the whole way down the Long Gully course for my first few runs yesterday and I got NO brake fade whatsoever. HIGHLY recommended.
