Are these brakes as good as or better than modern dual-pivots,and worth the high cost or are they just legendary?
I mean, seriously, I have 105's on one of my bikes, ultegras on another and I love 'em. A cinch to mount and set up, great modulation, great in the wet with Aztec pads, light and available on ebay for chump change...(and I imagine the dura ace's are even nicer!)
Way, way WAY better in every way than the Weinmann center-pulls I used to back in the day... which the Deltas competed against when they were new.

Don't get me wrong, I think they're beautiful. Just wondering about the price of admission.
