What brakes are these?

I was on the Clfee facebook page looking at the bikes they have pictured and saw this bike and was wondering what these brakes are on this bike?

To quote Sgt Shultz from Hogan's Heros, "I See Nothing!"

Seriously, I'm not seeing any image.

That's really not the best picture for making a brake ID. Some kind of W brake maybe (BMX style V brake). I would simply contact Calfee and ask them. They're really nice people.

Agreed, but I'm 99% sure there some sort of high-zoot, low weight, big buck side pull.

Give Mike @ Calfee a call and I'm sure he'll dish.

That's it, the pictures on facebook were better then the one I linked to but I wasn't sure if an FB link would work so used the other. Interesting brake set, I'veseen it on a couple of bikes and have always meant to ask and hadn't so when I saw it I thought one of you would know. Thank!
