Hello David,

I'd use MAFAC Racer. Just spiff them up by polishing them to a high lustre. Sounds like a nice bike.

Regards, Dave Martinez Fremont Ca 1969 Hetchins Hellenic and 1968 Magnum Bonum with MAFAC as original equipment.

You decided to use center pull brakes and specified that cable stops suitable for mounting center-pulls be brazed on. It's too late to change your mind and go for side pulls. The rest of the equipment will be Campy Record/Nuovo record. Now the question is which brand and model center pull brake to use when you build up your dream bike after it arrives in a few weeks...

Your thoughts?
