Uh, for the same reason others here aren't riding carbon fiber bikes? This is the C&V forum, I just wanted the correct brakes -- everything else on the bike indicates a sympathetic restoration (re-paint aside). These SR calipers look fine, the Shimanos are fine, personally I'd add Mafacs but on most of my bikes I've always used whatever components I felt like. YMMV, of course.

My wife is resisting the idea but I am leaning towards "Getting on CL with "For Sale: two Super Record calipers; for sale because [insert name] from [insert town] from right here on CL sold them to me using a picture of a pristine set of Record calipers and like description, with no disclaimers, and now I'm stuck with them. My loss = your gain"."
