I know some folks that make giant custom posters. It would be cool to get some custom posters for the shop.

Matches the RD ad, which I printed to hang in the garage.
Does this come in a similar hi-res?

Happy Friday all, here is the hi-res link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9467319/CampyBrakes.JPG

Let me know if the 300dpi scan is good enough.

Cheers,

GG

Great ad--thanks for sharing it. I'm tempted to do a poster as well.

Of all the Campy stuff I lusted for when I was a kid, the brakes were at the top of the list. Went for years with Universal 68s before I got some for my Mercian. I think they're beautiful as bike parts go.

A little beat up, but they still look good to me.

I'm with you on that Mercian Rider. The brakes and the NR rear derailleur were high-want items back when I couldn't afford a bike equipped with them. The most beautiful brakes ever made, IMO.
