Someone on RB.com posted some pics from this magazine... JAN 85 - 'Best of 84'

Was lookin' at this pic... & was a little confused....

Ruffell using 901's :? ... and the levers look modern too...

What's going on...

I looked in the 86 dia-compe catalogue to find these calipers were present ... were these made then ?

cheers

well they are defo mid to late 80's brakes the 901s. now we know they date from 86. lol.

levers could be tech 6 couldn't they?

and it would appear that some racers used front brakes bitd too.

This question was asked before when 901's came out, I think it was November 84 the earliest ad I could find for them. The levers are Tech 5's came out around the same time.
