  • has anyone widened a brake bridge hole in an old steel frame to fit modern calipers?

    It's the leading face that needs to be widened and unless your frame has a particularly strange geo, you won't get a drill inside the triangle.

    Have a look on Sheldon Brown, he covers fitting modern brakes to an old frame: I think it's in the dual pivot brakes article.

  • I used a regular cordless drill with a good HSS drill on my GF's mixte. Fork was easy and the rear bridge turned out pretty rough, but it works well enough.
