Richard and friends, My recollection (but don't immediately bet your house on this) is that the front used the Weinmann 610 and the longer reach 750 (I think that's the model) was used in the rear. This would be for 27" wheels. You might need 750s all around for tubulars or 700c rims. This was pretty common in the '60s, even on some very nice bicycles. It was probably the most benign of the deviant practices that were common in the '60s. Best regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
