So unless you have a set of SRAM calipers available for free/low cost I would get the Zrace at ~$25 /pair and spend the savings on decent pads like Cool-stops.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. I was thinking about buying the Zrace, but I am restoring an old bike and would like to have chromed components in order to have a nice look. The new shimanos are out of price range for me. And the only brakes I could find are the Sram ones. I can get a pair of Sram force for 55€ (65USD), which makes it ok for me. I've used the Red calipers and they were great.

BTW I have your twin:
I put a 7 speed freewheel on the original wheel, and changed the shifters to Sora 3300 2X7 brifters. I'm using 105 1055 dual pivot brakes and it stops very well.
Nice rig. And good point / question. Don't really know why but I'm not super inclined to go for such a brand. But the 11s of the Sensah vs 10s of Microshift's is definitely a plus when considering a single chainring setup. I would just appreciate that there would be more 1 by groupsets in entry-level price range.
