Douglas- Thanks for the words from your own experience. I just took a brow-beating from 5 or more well-intended Mondia experts saying otherwise. In any case, we can at least say that the Mondia came with MAFACs, UNIVERSAL 68s, OR Dura-Ace sometime in the early 70s, even though Campy NR were well established in the market.

p.s. I never liked the Dura Ace brakes anyway. )^:=

       I bought my Mondia Special new in 1972 and it came spec'd with the "new" Dura Ace brakes of the day. I bought the bike on the Jersey shore where I worked summers as a shop rat and sometime racer. Douglas Brooks Bristol, NY
