Subject: [CR]Modolo America Calipers

Hi all-

I read with interest the recent postings comparing Modolo and Campy brake pads. I have Modolo America calipers, with apparently the original brake pads, on my Hansom Super Prestige. I am very impressed with the brake "feel" and stopping ability, especially compared to the Campy Chorus calipers on my off topic "modern" bike. Can any one tell me when the America series was introduced? Were they considered low, mid-range, or high quality in the Modolo lineup? Most of the references I have seen as far as original equipment have been on mid level Bianchis.

Thanks for any input,
