ID on cane creek scr-6 brakes
I just bought a Bottecchia bike off of Ebay ( yeah I know, I'm the scum of the earth) with a mostly 7900 group on it. The only parts that weren't 7900 are the crankset and the brakes. The auction listed that the bike came with cane creek scr-5 brakes but the bike actually came with cane creek scr-6 brakes.
I can't find so much as a single mention of scr-6 brakes either on cane creeks website or anywhere else on the web. Has anyone ever heard of them or know anything at all about them?

Weird. The higher numbers of Cane Creek indicate higher quality (SCR-5 is lighter than SCR-3). I can't find them online either. Prototype that got out perhaps?
Do you have a gram scale? You should remove the brake pads and weigh them. They look lighter than the SCR-5, since they've got some skeletonized parts.

cane creek brakes and bottecchia
after researching many carbon frames and a variety of road bikes i decided on the Bottecchia with the dura ace / vuelta / fsa components and cane creek brakes. I think it's fairly common to place a new series number on components sold to manufactures and provide a different style/look/design. This is to maintain the value of a common component sold to distributors such as the scr-5. I've put over 800 miles on this bike and utilized the brakes to their maximum as i tend to scream down hills and weigh in at 200#'s.
Although i too don't have a gram scale; i have no intention of replacing these rim squeezers based upon current performance.
