In the 80s Weinmann released a couple of sets of brakes along this "delta" line. i.e. A centre pull brake with a rigid centre operator rather than a straddle wire. I never saw a set being used, but I did sell a set a few months ago. They were NOS, so i never got a chance to try them. There were two levels of quality, one for knutted fittings and one for Allen key. Did anyone ever use these and were they the end of the line for Weinmann, or did they produce more models after this? I know the 400 set was a late release, a nice brakeset as well, especially the ones that were anodised black.
