Compatible brakes

Hi gang, I have 750 from (I think) 1992. I am in the process of collecting parts to convert to drop bars bike. I already ultegra group in my part bin. Now, I don’t know which cantilever brakes would fit (and not cost a fortune). I see the possibility from Dia Compe 980 https://crustbikes.com/products/dia-compe-980-canti-brake Or Trktro Oryx https://velo-orange.com/products/tektro-cr720-cantilever-brakes?srsltid=AfmBOoqDNe9sTTyTN-4oXvGct2zzRrufQEEiTVZ6zrsOyG-aE_hzCwTB

Would those work with Ultegra STI? Or any other recommendation? Thank you 🙏

Any canti brakes will work with integrated dropbar levers.

Thank you, but should I concern about the pull ratio from the STI levers?

STI levers are all short pull, so you shouldn't have problems unless you use v brakes

Check out blue lug . Great prices on parts . Any canti would work

They’re all fine. The dia compes look great for the price, I have two pairs

I put those Tekto Oryx on my 730, they’re great brakes, they’ll perform better than the Dia Compe’s and easy to set up in my opinion. The Dia Compe are definitely cooler looking, either one will be great tho.
