i know the brake is bad but you can't ride fixed safely with a decent gear inch in sheffield unless you have a brake, too many hills.you just trash your knees going down hill.

i ride a 1974 mercian super vigorelli that has campag dropouts, the 70's brochure say that mercian used the dropouts to be used with campag track hubs so thats what i've got but i would have loved to have kept these.
