This seems absurd to me. I have a pair in the garage I might put up.

There are only 2 of my 6 or 7 bikes that I wouldn't give up for that price.

I still can't get a positive ID on these levers. The they have to be in the 1985-1991 range, you would think record or chorus but in all the catalogues I have access too they levers have the little quick release mechanism built in. Anybody?
Edit: My early suspicion and now the current impression I am under is that they are cobalto levers and the buyers must have known. Check out this auction: https://cgi.ebay.com/Campagnolo-Cobal...QQcmdZViewItem
I would say those are the same levers wouldn't you? Obviously there was no need for the quick release on the cobalto calipers but there was for the deltas.

When someone wants and needs Campy Record (of any kind) and it is rare, the sky seems to be the limit.
