these are the most gorgeous center pull brakes. well sculpted and in a buffed finish took center pull brakes to the next level, even though they were considered passe when they were introduced in 1986. They were developed by a RISD grad, and partially based off the Mafac Competition, even using a similar straddle wire.
42mm-55mm brake pad reach. the catalog list them at 164grams each.

i still prefer these to paul's
Gorgeous brakes indeed that I've lusted after!
"They were developed by a RISD grad..." Any info about who it was?
I think you are mistaken about the date these were introduced, since they're listed in the 1980 Bike Warehouse catalog (http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/BikeWarehouse-80/BW05.html) as a newly introduced item (listing at $59.95).
