Speedy used a simpler release than the nicer Modolos, but were still very well finished. Consider them sort of a "semi-Pro" brake.

Your right - mid-range is more accurate. Got my models confused. The Equipe was also above the Speedy - though I don't know to what extent their availability overlapped. I have Speedys on my Cuevas.

While I respect Otis's opinion a lot, the Modolo Professionals were - and are - very highly regarded.
