After Gugificazione mods to the fork of the 1979 Miyata 912, I now have a braze-on centerpull front (so that I could use a front rack, bag, etc.) and bolt-on dual pivot (RX100 in this case) in back. Pads on both ends are Kool Stop salmons. Brake feel/lever travel with Campy/Sachs Ergo levers is good for both brakes. Since this photo, I’ve switched to Kool Stop Cyclocross Linear pads for a better fit against the 23mm wide rim. Works great!

Not sure if Universal 61’s would fit the same pivots, but I was also able to fit MAFAC Racers on the posts that’s @gugie used. I prefer the quieter operation and easier setup of the Dia-Compe (also lighter). Brake feel seems a bit nicer with DC.
