I run some Tektro 800s. Just a note, the reach is very long. I have to run the pads all the way up for a bike that originally had 27" and clearance for fenders when I switched to 700c. The cable pull is also on the opposite side of normal. They are definitely worse than other Tektro offerings, but they do work better than most vintage brakes, and they look a little more vintage. There is good reason to just use them for the mounting hardware.
