Ok chaps,
I bought a pair from Ribble the other day for under £45.00 inc postage.
They are much lighter than my old Mirage dual pivots which i generally use on my bike lash-ups when i've acquired a new frame for testing.
There doesn't appear too be too much in it weightwise versus my Record calipers but obviously there are construction detail differences between the two sets.
My only gripe is that the finish is a bit 'bright' which gives them a slight cheapo feeling as opposed to the deep satin lustre we are used to on silver Campy parts.
These will be attached to my Colnago Master Olympic at some point which they should suit rather well.
Pleased.
Fignon
Absolutely.
Like I said, plenty of people manage perfectly well with a DP on the rear, but it's not necessary and it isn't a disadvantage.
