Brake Calipers UNIVERSAL SUPER 68, vintage bike, Eroica 700c

The UNIVERSAL SUPER 68 caliper set brings period-correct braking to a 700c wheel. This used set comes from the vintage inventory at Street of Vintage Bike and is listed for Eroica builds and restoration work where the right component matters more than a new part's shine.

What the SUPER 68 calipers deliver

UNIVERSAL's SUPER 68 calipers were designed for reliable rim braking on bikes of their era. On a 700c setup, they offer the classic side-pull architecture that countless vintage road and touring bikes used. For a restoration, that means the braking unit looks the part and mounts with the standard single-bolt fixing common to that generation.

Condition notes for a used set

The photos are part of the description. This is a used caliper set, so minor cosmetic marks or light storage wear may be present. No major defects such as rust points, cracks, or bent parts are noted in the source description. If you are matching a specific Eroica build, review every image to confirm the general condition before choosing this component.

For a matching cockpit setup, a classic vintage handlebar pairs well with these calipers. And while the brake levers are not included here, the Mafac aluminium brake levers represent the same period approach to cockpit and braking components.
