Charles,

For brakes, one must consider the CLB Compact. At this point in time ('79) the SpaceLines were not out and the nearly-as-light Compacts were the "undisputed world lightweight champion". I think I have some around, too. No real qualms with their performance, either. Sidepull to sidepull comparison differences are not nearly so great as sidepull to today's double pivots would be.

For hubs, Hi-E.
