I'm not sure why some people think Tektro brakes are unattractive. From 10ft away (maybe with your glasses off) they look like any other decent side-pull. Perhaps a little modern, but that goes well with 80's or later bikes. From the side they look like every other side-pull. For stopping power they are great.
