If rivendell can convince dia-compe (or dia-tech) to dust off its old tooling and cast some 1970's 610 brake calipers, why can't we convince campy to dust off some old tooling and make some more spare parts available ?? or at least rent/sell the tooling to a small works that can shoulder financial risk ??

once again, the japanese seem to have a much more reasonable policy with regards to bike componentry than the europeans. no surprise, i guess.

i wonder if dia-compe would be willing to remake some vintage hoods from the gran-compe ( i vote for suntour superbe hoods ! ) to give us spares for our campy components !! what a political coup that would be for dia-compe !!
