• 80's bikes had aluminium rims.
    If your brake pads have been in place for a few decades you should try to change them,
    assuming your brakes are decent.

    On a Mafac set ,
    the braking was ok unloaded on dry roads.

    Once loaded in the wet,
    I was struggling to brush off speed on long downhills.
