OK,

I just got back from the LBS. I have in my posession two new pairs of brake pads.

Well, I have one pair of Kool Stop Red (part # KSW-EC2R),

and a pair of Scott Mathauser cantilever brake shoes, which are NOS. Apparently, Scott Mathauser is out of business, but I had a set of his brakes shoes once, and they stop the bike something remarkable. I may be running into a problem if they are dry, too. But I can always go back to the LBS and get another pair of Kool Stop's. (although they only have grey, I got the only pair of red, and they didn't have salmon).

I'm going to do a web search for "scott mathauser" , and then I'm going to install these items on my bike.
