Doing a search for light weight alloy rim calipers, I found an image that matches perfectly, but the model of brakes doesn't match up to the image - the venerated TRP R960 doesn't look like that:

Is it maybe just an older version? Bike is a '12 Damocles
Thanks boys

it was years ago that i used them on my Legend, but i just remember they had that "mushy" feeling, not the solid, firm brake feel of dura ace or record brakes.

There are a few varieties. Forged, CNC, Forza(4ZA)....
I have the Forza kind and they work just fine for me. Plenty of stopping power, especially with the right pads and set up.

I have a set with Swiss stop pads and they are very impressive stoppers.
