About brakes: Those were the long-arm center pull brakes that came
originally on my Raleigh Super Course. It also had a similar stamped
steel cable housing stop hanging from the headset. That part was pretty
flexible.

I always thought those brakes were weak. Eventually I replaced them with
Shimano cantilevers and a more rigid cable stop. Also, Kool-Stop salmon
pads. I like that setup much better. The Weinmann brakes are now on my
three speed.

But when the bike had those original brakes, I did loaded tours of
England (with some time in hilly Devon) and Scotland (including the
hills around Loch Ness) plus the Appalachians.

Separate question: Andrew, on my bike, the logos were hand lettered, not
decals. Do you do that in your shop?
