Universals or better still being a Brit and a Brit frame to boot GB Coureur "66". I was unfortunately old enough to be riding in this year. Mafac were a little bit old hat and out of fashion by then and those of us that were still riding CP's back then were on the above. Contact me off list and I will send an illustration of the 69/70 GB 66 centre pulls.

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?
