>>>I thought the jewel thing was later C- record only and only blue at that. An add-on or mod? Mark Cutrufelli<<<
Just another example of "can't believe everything you read on eBay". These look like Cobalto calipers with replacement "jewels". Finding those calipers with the plastic jewel missing is common. I have a pair that way that came on a Masi 3V, and I just reglued a pair of original blue jewels to calipers on my Raleigh Team USA. I was prepping the Raleigh for a ride and the front jewel just popped off while the bike was in the work stand. I thought I was really fortunate that it happened there instead of while I was out on the bike. I glued the front back in, and then pried the rear out (which was TOO easy) and reglued it, just to be safe.
I need to find some spares. In fact, I'd like a red pair like the eBay listing, for my jewel-less pair!
