how well do those brakes work?
I'll let you know how the brakes work when the bike arrives and I can try them out - carefully.

And thanks for the go-ahead to keep it.

Thanks. I'm not sure whether to keep it as-is or convert to a triple (and if so, whether to keep it as an 8-speed or switch to 10-speed). In any event, it will remain a Campy bike, and it will be a rider.
