I think touring bikes of the time had cantilever brakes and there are no mounts for them. I suspect going down hill with a full load of gear would require really good brakes.

I'm looking for a serial number. If I can meet up with the builder maybe he will remember something about it.
See the holes on top of the rear drop outs? Those are the eyelids for the racks that hold up the panniers. Road racing frames do not have that, unnecessary, save weight.
