WTB: decent set of campy brake levers
for a mid 70's torpado build to go with NR calipers. i have hoods already. rider plus quality, so a scrape or 3 on the levers is ok, but nothing so bad that one might wonder if the previous user rode the bike through a wood chipper!
I now have a set of levers that i found locally, so i'm all set. thanks to everyone who responded.

These have been sitting in my parts boxes for 30 years and seem no closer to being used now than they did then. More 1980s than 70s and missing at least one handlebar clamp and nut, and perhaps a lever/body nylon washer but otherwise all there less the hoods. Send me a PM if they’re of any interest.

seagrade,
if no interest , I might be interested in them. I think I have all the repair parts in the McDuck gold mine. Smiles, MH

Your choice…..
I have both sets of the early 70s, no holes and 1975 super record with holes. The supers are a 9.8 out of ten (smudge of dust) I’ll trade you the Merckx ones for my 82 merckx

Cheers thank, good luck with the search.
Having had more interest than I expected for these levers, in good faith I’ll offer them to Mad Honk , panzerwagon and Robvolz in that order. Beyond that I’ll retreat to PMs so as not to further derail the original thread…
