>>1714012>or even the best of the best 40 year old brakes.Rim brakes were perfected 30 years ago. Not 40, but 30. Modern 105/rival/chorus isn't better than pic rel.
>>1714025These aren't modern rim brakes. Dual pivot was a big improvement.
Infact that bike is kinda cringe, because of the pedals and the extreme amount of saddle-bar drop. Raise the quill stem, tilt the bars up a little, and get some modern pedals, platform or clipless, doesn't matter, just not those horrid old ridges that dig into your shoes slippyboys. Then we're talking about a NICE bike.
