They've definitely been installed... albeit briefly. They're not clean and the levers have obvious scratches from being wrecked and scraping along the ground. Although the brakes themselves will LOOK new once I give them a quick scrub. (I'd never advertise them that way though.)
The pads are campy and they look brand new, so my guess is someone bought a bike that had these installed, then decided they wanted SR stuff instead (perhaps after wrecking once or twice.)
