Have the Hetres on my Bleriot - awesome tires, nothing faster for
gravel and ruff roads. I have the V.O. Zepplins with the Dia-compe 750
center pulls ( these brakes work and look great - a great deal for the
price) and I have a V.O. Carrier front rack. It was a little beyond me
to install all this properly myself - got a great bike mechanic to do
the work and he did a great job. Good clearance with a classic
"French" bike look - I got exactly what I wanted in a bike setup.
