I couldn't agree more. A canti Hilsen, or perhaps more exactly, a prototype Saluki. I have never quite understood why GP has moved away from canti brake designs. My experience has been that good brakes set up & work better than budget brakes, no matter the style; but for wide tires on a road bike good cantis give the best fender and tire clearance, and good cantis have great stopping power.
