Hi folks.

I searched the archives for this topic and I'm sure it's been asked many times enough but I was unable to find anything that really answered my questions. But I've got a bunch of them on this topic.

1. What's the difference between Brev and Patent? What years did each come out?

2. On any given bicycle in the 70's, were original campy parts always consistent? That is, were they all brev, or all patent or were they a mix of the two? On my Masi, the brakes I believe say 'brev' and the headset says 'patent'

Thanks in advance for your responses. :-)

Aloha,
