These rare birds were fitted with Weinmann 999 calipers and quick release levers. I have heard people poo poo these brakes and yeah, they are not Campy, but they were the bomb back in 1962 and they stop really well.
The Williams cotter cranks were strange to me and I never paid much attention to the cranks until recently. What I wonder about is the front chain sprocket wheels. They have no marking that I can see at least not with them installed on the bike, and the inner and outer are so close in size. The changeover when you shift is almost hard to notice. What the purpose of this variation from the norm was I can't quite understand. These days I see bikes with hydraulic calipers and discs just like a motorcycle has.
