Used Modolo Equipe caliper brake set with cosmetic wear from prior use and long-term storage. Dark gray arms show numerous small scratches, finish chips, and rub marks, with edge wear around the arches and pad mounting areas. Steel hardware including center bolts, washers, quick-release plates, and springs displays oxidation and surface rust, especially on the quick-release levers and rear mounting hardware. Plastic pivot caps and barrel adjusters have light scuffing but remain intact, and the caliper pivots move at the mounting bolts by hand; full functional testing on a bike has not been performed and a thorough cleaning, lubrication, and installation of new pads is recommended before riding. Listing includes only the two Modolo Equipe front and rear calipers with attached hardware and blue zip tie; brake pads, pad holders, cables, housing, and any other accessories are not included.
