You just take those brakes off of your customers as fast as you can, and then kindly send my way. Nothing upsets me more than cyclists who have Campy parts they don't like and/or want. This is very disturbing. How am I supposed to sleep tonight?

I guess I'm thinking regionally; Record 180 bikes generate little interest
or money in my area. The Delta brakes are an exception, but I hear nothing
from my own customers about them except "Want these brakes? I hate 'em"
from the few that have used them. Although, what a pantographing canvas,
you know?
