TBH they're not the most amazing brakes in the world, but they stop me fairly well without resorting to really pulling on the levers.
Yup, Soma Mixte, traditional frame work best when the tubing haven't been curved (e.g. like those with an hourglass stay).

One more question on this subject ed: you swapped from the racer to the compass centre-pulls on your oak/talbot, why is that and did you find an improvement?
@MisterMikkel Bloody lovely, the Pan saddle is great for that kind riding position.

Great info scolbes. The 559 is what I was originally looking at, but amey's and other's low opinions of them made me doubt. I guess probably worth a crack for £40.
What frame is that? Soma mixte? Looks ideal.
