The sidepull brakes definitely are not original, does anyone know what brand center pulls were original? What was original saddle and seat post? It came w/Avocet W2 saddle--I put on an old Brooks Pro which was big step up. I would love to see a pic as original, and perhaps know year made. Am guessing from early eighties. Would love to exchange thoughts w/you out there. Took it out today for a short shakedown cruise and like the bike very much. Thank you.
