Much better pics courtesy of the original owner. Last 5 frames shows the difference between the 1st & subsequent generations (3rd & 5th gen in this case).
Also David Bohm of Bohemian Bicycles has posted some pics of the frame we built together over 10 1/2 days at the end of November 2009. He has finished the rear triangle and added the braze-ons. Very schmick stuff indeed. You can check it out at his Flikr account:
The 1st generation delta's are destined for this build as is a 1st generation C Record chainset...mmm hubba hubba...

Thanks for the research. Love the blog.
I have a question for your. I have a set of Campagnolo Delta brakes on my 1989 era Eddy Merckx. I lost one of the brake shoe holders (long story involving a bent wheel rim). I am trying to find a period replacement. Any sources of Delta brake parts you could point me to?

Hi Bruce. Pretty hard to find specific replacement parts without having to buy the whole caliper - which tends to be quite expensive nowadays. Worthwhile trying the "Bike Stuff" links on the excellent Velo-Retro site (http://www.velo-retro.com/links.html). I have purchased from VeloMine & Hilary Stone (both excellent) but I understand all of them have a good reputation in the vintage/ classic market. If you have access to swap meets/ cycle jumbles then that's even better. Then, of course, there's ebay...
