Until Campagnolo set the world on its ear with it Record sidepull brakes in 1968, high-performance brakes were centerpull. The most notable centerpull was the Mafac Racer, made famous by five-time Tour de France winner Jacques Anquetil.
Since then, Campagnolo brakes have been sought-after works of functional art.

Campagnolo Record brake levers, 1st generation, for parts only. used $100.00
These levers are from the first run of Campagnolo brakes in 1968. They can be identified because the front vertical "Campagnolo" engraved on the levers is closer to the top of the lever. And, in the back there is a hole rather than a "U"-shaped opening to feed the cable into the lever.
These levers are not operational. They are being sold for their parts to repair other levers. The screw that secures the pivot shaft is missing on one lever. Also, one lever has a replacement 10mm nut rather than the stock 8mm nut that is used to tighten the lever to the bars.
Levers from the first year of brake production, can be used for parts.

Campagnolo Euclid 1" headset locker & brake cable stop. New, $60.00
Part# 85575
- Campagnolo Euclid parts were produced 1989 - 1991.
- This cable stop/headset lock was made for 1" steering tubes to work with Campagnolo Euclid cantilever brakes. But this beautifully made piece of cycling art will work with nearly any cantilever or centerpull brake.
No one ever made a brake cable stop this pretty before.
