Those are nutted Tektro 539’s, which nestle nicely amongst the canti mounts. Great for 27” wheels, just a touch shy of what would be needed for a 700c conversion. If I go that route will use Tektro 559’s. Paired with the Shimano BL-R400 SLR levers, they stop the bike quite nicely. At some point I’ll probably cut off the old mounts, sand smooth the fork and stays, and touch up the paint. Found a perfect Duplicolor match, so no need for an entire respray.
Good to know that dual pivot caliper are an option. I must say, my wife's stock canti setup stops pretty dang well. Enough so that she doesn't complain about it at all....and her other bike is hydraulic disc..
