Here's my baby, a 1969 Magneet. I've been touring it for fifteen years now:
It's had one change since this picture was taken (11 years ago). This past spring I finally replaced the Weinmann center pulls for Mavic Racers (much better braking under load) with the Mavic levers and safety levers - the only "safety levers" I'll write without quotes. They're actually about 80% effective as the main levers. And they're the only safety levers I'll consider using.
