But be aware that they can be a PITA to install and tune up. It takes at least double the time and attention to install them correctly, compared to conventional side pull caliper brakes. Add a bit more time with having internally routed rear brake cables, as managing cable length and tension (which is a big deal with Deltas) to the rear caliper can get really fiddly with more cable casing sections and ferrule yo manage.
Also be aware of it's fragile finish. The silk screen Campy logo on the cover plates tend to fade away under exposure to the sun, plus the bottom of the caliper gets beat up from just the sandblasting effect coming from debris kicked up by the tires. Braking power-wise, it's not really that bad, if adjusted well. Maybe mediocre, at worse, if compared to other top line brakesets from that time, but I guess people expected superior braking power from then, a very seemingly tech forward design.
