After this much time, I would not use them on a real rider, for fear of failure of the bonding agent between the pad and the holder. I'm on the road, but I think I remember having one naked holder at home, as a result of such a failure at some point.

> I have an Olmo which looks to be identical except it is blue with Campy cranks and Universal 61 brakes. I also had a Campi, and a repainted Giradengo. They all had very simular details. Two had the chromavelto as the CL bike has, the Giradengo I suspect also was since this finish does not like dampness and I suspect they had a high failure rate of the original finish. Brian Blum
