Oops, my first posting to the list and I messed up. I meant to write that to the best of my knowledge, Campagnolo produced only a REAR brake drop bolt. Thanks to Lee Berg for catching it, now let's see how many more corrections come through.

I'm also under the impression that Campagnolo only produced a front brake drop bolt.

However, Weinmann produced these bolts for both front and rear brakes. The only

catch is that the slot for the brake spring must be opened a bit to accommodate a

Nuovo/Super Record brake. I purchased a pair of these drop bolts from Bicycle Classics

some years ago when I converted my Proteus from 27" to 700C wheels. Last year I purchased

another pair via eBay so that I could mount Campagnolo brakes on a Schwinn Paramount P15.

I've got two more true Campagnolo dropbolts in my parts bin plus two Weinmann rears

and a single Weinmann front. I won't part with the Campy's or the Weinmann front. I'm

not anxious to part with the Weinmann rear's either but I would listen to offers from a list

member who needs one for a pet project. I'd suggest keeping an eye on eBay. This is

where I picked up all my spares; they seem to turn up about once a month and sell for

$20 - $40.

I've never heard of, seen, or seen a part number for a front one, only the rear was ever made as far as I know.
