what shall I do with these Campagnolo brakes?

[SIMONFREESE]

I have these Campagnolo brakes. They were very kindly given to me by Lazarus, whose generosity really helped me with my last road project.

Here are the brakes:




My question is what could I use these for? I would like something period correct and affordable! So what period and what to do with them?

I thought this would make a good start for another project...!

Do you have the adjusters? If not, they can be a bit hard to find, sorry to say.

 

[SIMONFREESE]

This is it. Sounds like I may have hit a problem! Any ideas on age out of interest?

not too sure but they look like either Triomphe or Victory short reach calipers from the mid 80's with the italic script logo but have had their centre conical nut changed to an earlier Record dome nut at some time.....

Thanks for this, it will give me something to go on...

It looks like they are nutted so my guess would be mid 80's Triomphe as Excel mentioned....... Lo-Pro would be a good place for them ?

Could I realistically entertain any cheaper build options? Lo pro frames are lovely but pricey...
