When I change from my Dura-Ace bikes to this one, it takes me about 10km to get used to how hard I have to hit the brakes.
Does one caliper arm go through the other? A bloke I know got some in like 1987. I remember drooling on his brakes as they were the latest thing. My poofy white Modolo 'Team' brakes were probably better at the time, which doesn't say much for the Chorus ones!
Chorus was originally the third tier group. I think Campag then got rid of Croce D'Aune, Chorus was souped up with Dual pivot brakes, and those calipers then became Athena.
