There are two Mafac cantilever brakes- the tandem version has longer arms and
stops really well. I've had a set on my All-Rounder for the past 15 years.
They work well with the Tektro/Cane Creek brake levers. The shorter arm
cantilevers don't work as well IME.

I got word second hand (ie, not from Jan) that Jan had tested Mafac
cantis with Mafac levers and found the combination wanting, while

A laptop bag on its side might slide right in there. Briefcase from
Goodwill, maybe? Good luck on the dog, but I recommend a medium-sized
dog that can run really fast for a long long time. But dogs are like

Holy COW that was pretty stealth! "Oh, here's the car I got to replace

That's a very nice looking bike! I'd imagine that finding a Herse in

Actually, it cost me less by about half a grand than the Sam Hill I
bought off Riv's floor last year! The two previous owners, Jan Heine
and RS Watson of this list, didn't like it; their loss, my gain. This
