The Tektro is cheap and barely lasts long enough to assemble it and sell it, at its cheapest and most common state. The current iteration of the Campagnolo looks classic and has no markings (I don't believe. I'll check my off-topic brakes in the morning). I would use this on any Asian brake, commonly called at the time "Campy Copies." But then I'm a mechanic, not a restorer. My attitude is If it ain't out-of-the-box original, then function should triumph over a supposedly correct repaint and rebuild. Your mileage may differ.
