Morning all,
I'm currently renovating a 1971 Major Nichols touring frame and have been collecting parts ( mostly campag) ready to bring her back to its former glory.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting something sympathetic for the cantilever brakes within budget.....was hoping to get some mafac but decent examples can be quite serious money.
I've been offered these (pic attached) which feel like later shimano type at first glance....but they have this v or m emblem in the casting.
Hoping the cyclechat collective can help me with identifying this to give me a clue on what date they could be ( I'm aware that the CS nut and bolt are highly likely a later modification)
Thanks in advance guys.
