nope that brake wont fit, think about it, look at the pista fork, there is a single hole in the centre so you need a brake that uses a single bolt fixing (not trying to be patronising)
search shimano 105 caliper - that's a decent cheap brake that you wont need to replace in a long time.
then you need to buy brake cable inner and outer, so the wire and the tube that covers the wire.
as for a lever there are too many to choose from to recommend really, a dia compe dirty harry is popular though.
anyway hope that's helpful

if you are on a budget i can sell you a front brake (shimano exage) with cable inner and outer (white), all used but can sell the lot to you for £10. PM if interested.

Make sure you get the correct clamp size.
They come in 22.2mm (BMX) and 25.4 (I think!).
Anywho, you want the larger one!

my lever is a dirty harry i think
and it comes as a 25.4 but with a shim for 22.2
but thats just me
I'll be honest, I don't know the first thing about buying a brake in seperates....

For a pista (stock fork) with a deepV on the front. Compatible?
Also, if anyone could recco a cheap and reliable right hand lever, then that'd be great.
Thanks in advance
