The Shimano 105 Golden Arrow BR-S105 brake callipers are a celebrated component from the early 1980s, known for their distinctive golden arrow logo and elegant polished finish.

These dual-pivot side-pull callipers were part of Shimano’s first 105 series, bridging the gap between the high-end Dura-Ace and the more accessible 600 EX. Offering strong, smooth braking and unmistakable vintage charm, they remain a sought-after upgrade for Eroica-eligible or retro road builds.

Personal Note from Sorcha Rosa

“The Golden Arrow series captured that brief, golden moment when Shimano design balanced grace with performance. These callipers are mechanical poetry.”
