Sachs New Success

Anyone using Sachs New Success components? I just picked up some brake calipers that I'll use instead of the Weinmann 405's that just don't want to adjust right. The Sachs look nice and clean. Can't wait for the package to show up in the mail.

From what I can see with some research the components were pretty good - brakes possibly made by Modolo and derailleurs/shifters by Campy.

I always liked the look of the New Success stuff. I tried a few times to get it off ebay but always got out bid. I am using some Sachs Rival index shifters with good success on my Sante group ($30 verses $80+) I can't imagine the brakes not being great.
