Thanks!
The same idea occurred to me too, but there's no corresponding exit to the back of the seat tube...
The brake mounts themselves are a bit of a puzzle: whereas the fork takes a recessed tube nut, the rear was for an external hex nut.
I suppose the forks might not be original to the frame (there was white overspray on them, but yellow in the BB shell) and the rear mount was also a modification from the original spec.

Looks very nice.
A thought on the curious hole in the seat tube. I am sure i have seen the odd special with a cable routed through the tube, and seat post and exit the rear, it sort of aligns with rear slot and hole. Perhaps an old attempt at aero cable run to rear brake.
Of course one needs to be very clear on seatpost height as your drilling a hole through it so it's a rare thing to do.
(i could be very wrong and it's for something more boring and simple)
