Sure, but be sure that these frames are made of extremely thin alloy tubes with weird shapes. Many frames already suffered from splits around the welds - just because the welds had been smoothed out extremely and this hadn´t a positive effect on the durability at all. Müsing did this also and created a hell of problems with it. Principia went right, because they added filler onto the welds to create a smooth look. A Hooker is a trophy and should be ridden with a hell of care and respect. It´s neither a daily driver nor a bike for intensive competition. Add it to the wall and ride it 3-4 times a year when the sun is shining and you are keen for a super stiff and also bumpy ride an iconic bike.

i meant this brake, i know its not period correct, thing is if i had one of these frames i would have used it - non uci rules TT events - and not just have it as trophy.
