  Sorry, I've been busy for the past few days.
  What's the drop on those callipers?? I found a bmx brake for £2 from a mate but its too big! Thank you again

  I have some brand new BMX calipers for exactly this type of frame, brand new, with pads. You can have two for £15 and I'll post them free. You may need some washers for the thin plate on the back, but simple to sort out

  I would go for two brakes but if you look at the rear seat stay brace, it looks to be just a piece of metal welded on and isn't original.

  How would you attach a brake to that??

  Thank you for all you help.

  I have decided to go for a new 700c fork, i have found one quite cheap on ebay and it's even in the right colour which is a bonus!

  Thanks again

  Hey,

  I have recently bought a second hand bike and i want to add a brake so i can use it as a single speed. After doing some reading on Sheldon Browns website, i need a brake with ≈ 73mm reach.

  This seems ridiculously big and i wondered if there was anyway in getting it smaller???

  I am using 700C wheels but the frame just seems to be too big for them.

  Please Help!

  Thanks, Michael
