Subject: [CR]looking for pictures of non-conventional brakes...

ive finally decided to succumb and expand my currently off-topic page of obscure mountain bike brakes (http://www.blackbirdsf.org/brake_obscura/) to include road brakes and brakes of non-standard (ie not basic cantilevers, centerpulls, or single or dual pivot calipers) design. cable-actuated only.

right now, theres nothing, mainly for a lack of pics.

right offhand, im looking for good, high-res pics of:

dura-ace/600 ax brakes scott superbrakes campy deltas (with and without cover plate, to show the mechanism)

and, well, anything else you can think of.

id also love to get ahold of good clear scans of original documention (setup instructions and whatnot) for each brake i feature as well - i figure if im gonna provide info on odd brakes, the best i can do is to also provide info on how to set up and adjust said odd brakes!

thanks for anyone who can help...
