Yes, the levers will break, usually on the body, and the calipers will break if you try and bend them for toe in. The Scott-Mathauser pads are great, I'm always looking for those. Other than that, Universals work as well as any other brakes from the period, except Campagnolo. The levers have kind of a long reach, so best for big hands.
Beautiful Frejus, I have a early 60s one I'm working on, blue and white, but its pretty beat. That one is the classic Frejus color scheme!
