Condition: Excellent condition for 60-year-old brakes. Arms and hardware are clean, engravings crisp. Pads have half their life or better. All mounting hardware present.
Notes from MyBikeThing: The brakes that put Universal back on top — introduced in 1961 and promptly specced by most high-end Italian builders. Smoother and stronger than the Mafacs they answered. This complete set came off a 1950s-60s Olmo that gave up every part without a fight, and the yoke carriers and straddle cables — the bits that always go missing — are all here.
Workshop Wisdom: Centerpulls live and die by straddle cable height: shorter straddle means more power, longer means more modulation. Set the yoke so the straddle arms sit near 45 degrees and these will out-stop most sidepulls of the era.
Guarantee: You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition 🙂
