  • Yes, I had Aero Gran Compe brakes on my time trial bike in the early 80s. They are really classy. Not quite as good in stopping power as a modern Campag/Shimano but more than goo enough for general riding. They are also very, very light. Do be aware that they have specific brake blocks that are unique to Dia Compe aero brakes. Price wise the Aero Gran Compe (Dia Compe's equivalent to Record or Dura Ace) are quite dear now. The standard Dia Compe Aero brakes should be a fair bit cheaper.

    Basically they a very nice brakes.

    But, as you say, might be better just to buy 650 rear wheel
