Modolo Professional Brakeset - NOS, Boxed







Sorry - not for sale. I purchased these from an estate sale last week. Got a decent price on them and, of course, figure they're keepers. Rare to find anything "new in box" from 30 years ago. These are from the early 1980s from my research. Either way, this was the heyday of my road riding and the beginning of my passion for collecting bikes. I couldn't afford Campagnolo back then. At 20 years old, I could barely afford the newly-designed Shimano 600 group, but that's what I put on my Batavus Professional frame - my first "good" bike frame. 

The Batavus frame is pearl white with blue decals, and I always thought it would look stellar with these blue Modolos. The question then is - do I live for the moment and build the bike up with the Campy and these Modolos it deserves, or keep these brakes in-box for their collectible value and show-off potential? I suppose, if this is the only thing I have to keep me awake at night, life must be okay. :)

Here's a link to some great info on Modolo brakes. Enjoy!
