As far as I know, the RSX calipers were only produced for 8-sp RSX groups, in a satin-finish dual pivot.
Every 7-sp RSX group I've come across (and I buy 'em if I can afford it) had Exage calipers.
Other than eBay, Velospace, Road Bike Review, and other sales/trade sites, I can't imagine anywhere else.
Maybe try Site Mash and enter RSX. It may come up with CL listings.

I don't know about the satin-only finish, because I've pictures of them with a shiny chrome finish as well. And tomio, I want these because I just installed 7-speed rsx brifters on my raleigh technium 400, and want matching calipers. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a set of the shiny finish ones (not for sale, unfortunately) as part of a almost-complete 7-speed RSX gruppo (don't have the hubs) which were on my replica Mavic Neutral Support bike. The bike's now back to parts, and the frameset will be sold at Westminster. I always thought they were fairly common.

+1. I have them and also tricolor STI's of the same vintage and they are nearly identical in both form and function. Though I think they are identical to the 105 of similar vintage.

I'll join in - I have a pair.
I agree, RSX is good stuff. I have some that I ride on my commuter.

I ended up finding a pair...what is the difference between the rear derailleurs with the blue RSX lettering and the black RSX lettering? Was it just a difference in the year it was produced? Or was there a different shifting range (7 or 8 speed)? Thanks for the help. I'm really trying to get this group together.

My RSX 7-sp stuff had the blue letters.
My RSX 8-sp stuff had the black letters.
I'm glad to see that 7-sp RSX groups came with calipers, which I'd not seen.
LBS has a bike, my size, lugged Lemond, with an RSX 7-sp group.
I need to check the calipers and the tubing, may be worth a 2nd look.
He wants $319.99
