These extremely rare NOS Campagnolo brakes have the later aero shape, but the early block style lettering.
Campy Record Delta brakes from about 1987
This shows 2 versions of the rear brake cable hanger for the Italian Universal Model 61 centerpull brakes. The version on the left is for Cinelli frames which have the "fastback" style seat stays.
This is an example of the rare earliest version of Campy Record brakes. Note that there are no words impressed on the caliper arms. The levers are the "long reach" type, and the box is the correct and extremely rare earliest version. The box is shown with a later style box for comparison. The last picture shows the larger adjuster nuts and one of the adjuster screws for this early brakeset. The larger nuts are on top, and one of the larger screws is on the right. The more common smaller sized adjuster nuts and screw are shown for comparison.
