My '72 P15-9 was originally equipped with 27" wheels and Weinmann center-pulls (610 front, 750 rear), and when I switched to 700C the Weinmanns' reach were just fine. There's no way standard reach Campy side-pulls would have worked.

BTW, what's the model name/year of a Schwinn C19?

Same with my 73, the Opaque Blue one. I did substitute Campy brakes on my chrome P-13, but the clearance is much less than on a P-15.
