I will further the recommendations for the 80's shimano XT style. I have had great success with them on miyata including 700c conversions. The tektros are great brakes on new bikes... I put them on a surly and found they sucked the big one. I had to use low pro pads because the surly studs were too close like vintage frames... in anycase I sold the surly and bought a soma and switched to v-brakes and flat bars for touring... the tektro are on a 2004 cross bike and work very very well.
