Shimano introduced its first professional level component group in 1973, labelling it Dura-Ace. This was also the first year Campagnolo produced its Super Record groupset. Shimano continually improved its Dura-Ace components. But Shimano really silenced all critics when Andy Hampsten won the 1988 Giro d'Italia on a Dura-Ace equipped bike.
Shimano Dura-Ace center-pull caliper set. Used, $125.00/set
- These calipers were produced from the early to mid-1970s. They came out before Shimano introduced its high-end Dura-Ace group. It is thought by some that Shimano liked the name given to these brakes and used it for their pro-level group. They are an interesting bit of cycle history.
- 47mm to 65mm reach
