I'm looking to build myself a Donkey bike with a rack on the front to strap my camera bag to to make it a bit easier to lug around along with other bits. I've noticed that most bikes with a front rack have canto brakes, do normal road brakes not fit? I'll probably get some old complete road bike and chop and change to suit my use, would be easier for me to keep the wheels and brakes it comes with and just change the bars, levers and add racks etc.
