Some of these according to Sheldon Brown were low end pieces of junk, but they did make one example that wasn't, still it would be worth the tire rubber to check to make sure it was the good one. By the way, the good ones were made in Belgium and the low end jobs were made in Portugal and there use to be stickers applied telling where it was made, but I think the component level and weight of the bike would indicate what quality it is.

As cheap as the center pull brakes look don't let those fool anyone here because Shimano did make Dura Ace center pull brakes that did see the racing circuit.
