I wasn't aware of the Rino connection. I believe Mike Fraysse (Paris Sport) had a strong connection to Saavedra. I have a set of (Campy compatible) brake pads I got from Mike which I recently used to replace some squealing Kool-Stop salmons. According to eBay he's down to his last set:
Vintage Campagnolo Style Record, Super Record Brake Pads, By Saavedra. NOS
I also see a set of
NOS Saavedra tubular rims on eBay right now.
