I got my hands on a Dawes Galaxy (circa 1980) in full working order. Decided I'd take it apart, clean it and put it back together. Did so, but in the process moved house and lost the brakes, so I need replacements.

The brakes I'm after are Weinmann 750 centrepulls. Like these:

Any condition accepted. I'm in Brixton.

Hi. Ive got two centre pull Weinmann Vainqueur 999's, one is a 750 & one is a 610 (as I'm sure you know these refer to the reach). They are I believe the 1960's versions, without any colour around the the lettering on the callipers.

If your interested email me at mark10daniel@gmail.com and I'll forward some photos?

Do either of you, or anyone else know if it's likely that the Dawes Galaxy frame I've got was meant to have a 610 on the front and a 750 on the back (or vice versa)? In which case, I may actually have found the right caliper sets, in pieces, in a spares box in my shed.

I'll go and do some research myself and let yous twos know whether I still need a set.

Thanks very much.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
