I think I may be raising more questions than giving answers. I have a 1984 Guerciotti with a full SR panto grouppo. It appears to me that the same f orging or casting that made my caliper arms made the ones for Ray Dobbins' Bianchi Specialissima. However, Ray Dobbins also has a full panto Guerci otti that was a show bike for the 1979 New York bike show. I could swear t hat this 1979 Guerciotti has the same calipers with the same engraving as m y 1984. He has had both his Bianchi and his Guerciotti listed on eBay rece ntly. Also, I recall seeing pre 1984 Colnago brochures showing panto cal ipers that look as if they were made from the later caliper arms. Is it po ssible that Campy made these arms for panto purposes only before adopting t hem into the standard SR grouppo?
