As an aside, those are VERY strange brakes. Look like centerpulls, but they seem to ride on canti-like bosses.

very true... in fact, they are centerpull caliper brakes, only the bosses are part of the frame and not the brakes. the bosses are actually too high on the fork to be used with any kind of cantilever brakes though (canti brake bosses have to be below the level of the rim). they would only work with those caliper brakes and the ol' u-brake.
