No braking news..

Two generations..

The choice of brakes was easy.  Design is a noble art and the Campagnolo Monoplanar is a true example.  A kind of phenomenon that rarely appears. Simple and effective mechanics shaped in modest and timeless beauty.  A lever with leverage. But of course,  design and Italy are synonyms.. Not easy to find in NOS these days, but I was so lucky to finally come across a new pair on the web in Northern Ireland. A Chorus set in the original box. I had to replace the brake pads for modern Carbon pad holders and could use the originals on Tecnos 1 with the alu rimmed carbon FFWD's.  A great exchange and use for these solid pads with the characteristic positioning wings. The new holders suitable to contain the carbon compatible FFWD SwissStop pads were not that easy to find, but I finally succeeded with a set of the 55 mm Trivio 453C, although the brake pads are about 2mm longer and protruding a bit. Mario's second last set of NOS 10 speed Ergopower levers are in Chorus as well, be it in Carbon and from a later generation, but at least a fit in group classification, just as with the Master..

NOS... !!
