Although the RacerM appears to weigh more than your Mafac Racers. 113g per wheel for braze on.
By the way, I checked out Shimano Ultegra Caliper weight: 294g per caliper. Not sure how much the braze on posts weight, but I doubt it would be much more, if as much, as the differenced between RacerM and Ultegras. So goes one more reason not to make a braze on version of the Roadeo.
