Item Condition

I grade products as honestly as possible and depict blemishes in both description and photos—please study them carefully. I tend to be overcritical and customers report items to be in better shape than expected often. From best condition to worst condition, my grading scale is as follows. Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

Top of the line centerpull brakes, made from 1961 through the 70's.  These are drop dead gorgeous, with highly polished hardware and polished arms with blue accents. They're know to be very smooth and powerful brakes.  A huge upgrade over Mafac or Modolo Racer.  The rear is a true long reach, at 72/56mm while the front is a mid/long reach at 60/49mm (per 1978 catalog, attached).

Condition

Great used shape.  Hardware is highly polished and clean.  Blue paint on arm fronts is slightly worn in spots.  Only a few very light marks on the arms.  These would shine with a good deep clean, as most of the blemishes you see are just dirt.  Pads are soft, but a bit torn up.  Functional but not the prettiest.  Straddle cables in good shape.  No cable carriers.  Not all mounting washers included (just one per brake), but easily sourced at any bike shop for a few dollars or free.
