Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
The ones you have look hardly worn. Have you tried resurfacing them to make 'em a little grabbier?

I went for the Kool Stop Cross Pads.
I think they look much nicer than the Eagle pads. They work fantastically- I've been using them since spring.

Any of the Kool-Stops mentioned here should fit and work fine. I have the same pads on same or similar brakes on my Miyata, Schwinn, and Panasonic touring bikes. All Have similar brakes, wheels, and clearances as your Univega.
If in doubt you can use the thinner ones Golden Boy mentions. The only possible clearance issue would be with the front fork and the thinlines should eliminate that possibility.

The advantages of the Kool Stop cross pads:
* shorter pad body, so less likely to hit your fork legs when you open the brakes
* replaceable pad, separate from the holder
The cross pads are more expensive at first, but you'll save money in the long run because of the replaceable pads.
Either way, get the "post-mount" versions.
