The world of the wants and the means to out bid. I was bidding on a set of Brand New In the Box... Model 61 Universal Brakes. Waited till the last 20 seconds or less, should have waited for the last 8 seconds, but another bidder wanted them more than me.
Believe me, these brakes at over 300.00 is a lot of money. I thought they were going to go for a little over 200.00 dollars, but I would not go any more than 300.00, winning bid... 306.00.
I was a little disappointed, but realize that even 300.00 was a premium that was going to hurt my pocket book anyway, but like it is being expressed here, we all at one time or another let the parts get the best of us.
However, I did noticed that the hoods did not have any background color in the Universal logo, because my Universal brakes on my professional model
Frejus had blue in the logo, as seen on the Rendezvous Light Weight Site on the Red logos and Champagne scheme Professional
Frejus there, and have see them with red in the logo also back in the 60's. There must be a difference as to either when they were made or better quality as I would access.
