Exactly! My singlespeed - a 1977 Mercian - still features its original single pivot Weinmann calipers. Sure, they aren't as good as modern brakes, but the difference is not huge.
I fitted dual pivot calipers (105) to my Raleigh 'Road Ace' they're bloody lethal, more than one finger on the brake lever and they 'lock up' 3 times I've been spat over the top just by trying to brake..............no 'feel' whatsover
