That is a nice restoration. I believe your bike is an Eclipse Countryman. I have owned one from new in flamboyant blue colour and the frame is identical. My understanding is that the Routier model came with cantilever brakes and the corresponding bosses brazed on the frame. The Weinmann brake levers originally had rubber hoods and the nearest equivalent nowadays would be some old stock Dia Compe ones.

Over a year on, the bike is still going strong; pic below is after cycling to Utrecht with my kid brother. Only thing that needs fixing is the bar tape that got scraped in a spill - that temp fix has been there since the autumn.
