One bike that caught my attention a few years ago was the machine that Jacques Anquetil rode in the first TT of the 1961 Tour de France. Which he won of course. If you look closely you'll see that this particular Helyett Speciale has cantilever brakes. As far as I've been able to determine he only rode it on this particular afternoon; all other pictures of that TdF show him on a bike with MAFAC centerpulls.
