My wife is currently riding an old holdsworth mite bike, all original including the drop bars and standard weinman leavers.
She is strugging a little on the towpath with constant changing of hand position to brake and was asking about the old 'suicide' brakes she had on her silhouette when she was a teenager.
So should I pick up and fit a set of those or will she die horribly in a canal based accident if I do?
Or can I get a set of cross leavers for the bars that let the original levers stay or.....
Thanks
Gareth
