unterhausen You are correct - I was searching by 'new' and did not realize this was the framebuilding sub.
However, my point remains the same - if building a bike from any state of disassembly or un-construction, Weinmann centre pulls should be far from anyone's first choice. Modern Vs or mini Vs, installing posts for which would require the exact same amount of effort and ingenuity as old Weinmanns, will stop the bike much better and consistently and with less effort.
