Reposition/replace brake bridge advice

I'm not sure if this is the wrong place for this so please let me know if it is.

I'm looking to get the brake bridge on a steel frame I have taking out and a new one (no brake hole)
being put in. The frame is nothing fancy so wouldn't feel bad about leaving it unpainted.

Mainly want to get this done so I can get a 32c on the back, as I can just about squeeze one on the front.

Just wanted some advice on how much I could expect this to cost - Bob Jackson quoted me £30.00 but everywhere I have found in London is much higher.

Am I being unreasonable to not want to pay more than this?

As I said, apologies if this is not the right part of the forum.

Guess he’d have to factor in postage both ways on top of that!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
