Hello,
I'm helping a friend convert her old peugeot racer to a single speed, (then maybe fixed).
anyway, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the rear brake.
The frame she's got, has a vertical hole through the rear bar that you bolt a brake onto, rather than a horizontal one (like every other bike i've seen)
any clues where I can get a brake for this?
I guess, perhaps this should just encourage her to jump straight into riding fixed?
