I've contacted the seller to ask the reach range. -
very generous of you.
If they don't usually have a big enough drop I'll probably go with a "regular" caliper then.
Thanks for your reply. -
helps to know what things are called...
the bracket that attaches to the handlebar stem is called a "cable hanger". And they can be found on ebay. Now not sure whether I should go this route or not -
I've hopefully given the paint enough time to harden, and now thinking of buying the last bits (maybe at end of month when I get paid!)
I'd like some help on the front brake. Looking at pics of Criteriums it seems the brake originally was a centre pull cantilever. It uses a bracket on the handlebar stem as part of the brake. Should I try and source this bracket? If so any ideas where? Can't seem to find any on ebay...
Or should I go with a "regular" caliper?
I've measured the brake drop I need and it's 50mm.The attached pic is one I found showing the original set up.

Thanks. I was fairly patient with the paint layering. The colour isn't that accurate, but the decals will show fine.
I've bought a centre pull brake on ebay, it's a 610 which I think means it has up to 61mm reach... Hopefully it will arrive in a day or so.
Here's a pic of the latest progress. Nearly there!
