Unusual DiaCompe Sidepulls
Picked up some 'different' looking DiaCompe sidepull brakes with a short reach--one arm is black and the other arm is silver--did someone modify the brakes or did Diacomp do this purposely? Rather distinctive look!

the royal gran comps were gold and black, maybe someone was inspired by the royal gran compes and swapped a set.

EDIT
Dia-Compe did THE BLACK/SILVER THING deliberately.
The black and gold RGC was a special edition, mine looked pretty good ... until the gold was polished away.
