Subject: [CR] items on ebay, suspect not as stated


Just doing the now almost obligatory scan through 'eBay'...and once again came across an item that, [as far as the photo shows], does not appear to be as 'described'........

The item in question is supposed to be a pair of 'long reach Campag brake levers'......but to me they don't look like the shape of a 'LR'.....and the hole at the back is oblong and not the simple round hole....item # 190320238761..........I could be wrong, and my appolgies if the seller is on the list, but perhaps a clearer photo showing the back would have been good.

The classic one is saying 'Super Record' pedals, when they are Superlegiri.......or Super Record brakes when theyr'e Gran Sport........natuarally we have to allow for sellers not been as knowledgeable as folk here on this list, afterall we are quite serious about our 'hobby'....

Hope everyone having a good day on the bike.......I'm unlikely to get out today......had house stuff to do, but about to settle down with a beer with some mates to watch the 'Tour'.........I reckon Andy Schleck from Contador!
