And today we have brakes.....
Whipped the already polished one off the Goff and sorted out the other one which was in disgraceful condition. I'd got hold of some Modolo sintered blocks and shoes which don't quite match the originals, close enough for me, though. Yep, they're the original brakes for the Gios, a lot of us used these because quite simply they work better than Super Record. I know that everyone just blindly kits out their classics with Super Record groupsets, but back in the day we built up our frames with the best bits we could find (or afford).
I also took a couple more gratuitous wheel shots, can't remember who asked but the block is 13-23.
