Can you identify these brakes?

[ArabStrap1]

Hi there, I had these brakes fitted on my Colnago tecnos but never been able to find out the model and year - do you have any clue? They should be campag cause many details are stamped "campagnolo" and "patent" but there is another symbol engraved on the actual brakes I can not recognize - any clue?

here's some pictures:

They look like Campagnolo Record ,but they have had some pantograph (custom engraving) work done on them , a desirable feature in my book . Brake pads aren't the originals , and I have no idea what the little logo is .

The curve on the quick release dates them post 1978 IIRC The release levers before that were flat.

As above, campag with pantograph work

Nicely done. The other mark is possibly a logo for the supplier/engraver?

Thanks guys, I thought they were record but got confused by that logo engraved. Rather than the supplier or engraver, wouldn't make more sense if it was the logo of the a bike manufacturer? Can't think of any name, though. Will try to take a closere picture and use TinEye to scan the net.

Cheers!

That was my original thought but as you said they came from a Colnago and that is not the Colnago logo I altered my opinion. Did you get the bike complete?

Yes, they were fitted on the Colnago Tecnos I just bought complete but the previous owner had built it up with mixed old/new parts so I guess these brakes were made for another frame originally also because the Tecnos I bought is a 1996 whereas these are probably older (end '80 - beginning of '90?). I'll keep investigating - meanwhile I'll be grateful for any lead. Ta

Look forward to some pics of your tecnos

Hi,
is it just me or does the engraving look a bit like a 'U', if it is then the brakes could have been pantographed for the Systeme U squad bikes of the 80's?. Anyway just a thought . Matt

Hey Matt, thanks for the suggestion but seems more like an "O" or a "0"...
