Icarus brake levers are with the composite plastic type lever.... At least mine are.

Found pictures of Icarus Brake-Levers looking like Record or.
They should look like on the picture. Doesn't matter if Icarus or Record OR.

As mentioned Icarus levers have composite blades, so those in the pic are really Record OR.
But Campag or at least their dealers often mixed things up and you see quite a few Rec. OR 'groupsets' with Icarus levers and canti's, - the canti's always get confused with the Record version.

okay ... thanks for this information. So i'm searching for Campa Record OR Levers.

The brake levers campagnolo recordOR and icarus are identical, those with the plastic lever is centaur
This is the catalog of campy-93

also brake are different between Record OR and icarus in 1993, in 1994 they are still different!

Campagnolo-Stuff seems to be confusing sometimes ...

So back again i'm searching for those brake levers on the picture. It doesnt matter if they are Record or Icarus.

As well a down pull front derailleur of one of the old Campagnolo Groups.

Thanks & cheers from Zürich

The plastic-bladed version of the lever was first introduced in the Icarus group.
You're correct about the cantilevers, Rec. OR and Icarus always were seperate models and have distinctly different pivot-systems. Most of the versions seen for sale are actually Icarus, not Rec OR as is often claimed.

It's interesting to see the Centaur groupset in the above catalogue. In my experience most it was sold as Icarus in the UK, including brake levers, canti's, thumbshifters and crankset.

Good luck with the search chap, they do crop up occasionally but you might have to be patient.

One thing about the front mech's, they look very similar but Record OR works much better than the earlier models which weren't all that good.
