Subject: [CR]vintage Galli cyclocross sidepull brakeset

CR, If you are interested in a distinctive vintage cyclocross sidepull brakeset, eBay seller zairebunia has three sets of Galli Cross brakes NOS NIB in that distinctive Galli dark blue/black anodized color. It appears that the cyclocross version of this Galli brakeset differs from the road version in that the quickrelease is on the upper brake arm in the cross version versus the lower brake arm in the road version. I'm supposing that reduces mud fouling the quickrelease (?) and there may be other differences from the road version unknown to me. The brakeset I received has some light surface corrosion on the unanodized alloy quickrelease mounting post and securing nut but is otherwise perfect. No relation to seller.
