Shimano Tourney Centerpulls
I pulled a pair of Tourney centerpull brakes from a damaged frame. They appear to be copies of Weinmann/Dia-Compe brakes. Does anyone here have experience with them?

My wife had a pair on her Nishiki mixte. They worked fine, here in the flatlands. They look quite similar to the Dura Ace centerpulls from the same era.

The Dura Ace version came first. They changed the name to Tourney when they started using the Dura Ace name for their top of the line group. The centerpulls were never part of that group.
I pointed out here before that they are remarkably similar to Weinmann 610's. Nobody seemed to agree, or maybe nobody cared enough to comment.
