I have a 1971 Raleigh Super Course which came with Weinmann brakes. I switched them to Mafacs, and I'm extremely happy.
What is it about the Mafacs that you prefer to Weinmann? I'm working on an old Falcon and have thought about putting the Weinmanns that it came with back on it, but haven't decided for sure yet.
