Singlespeed Parts Scrounge

[Gags]

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago I am in the process of
turning an old mtb into a singlespeed. My old bike had
Shimano STX-RC centre pull brakes and I am hoping to replace
them with V-brakes if I can score a set cheap enough.

If anyone based in Melbourne has some old V-brakes gathering
dust in the shed and wants to get rid of them for a
reasonable price then could you please let me know. I have a
right side (front) V brake lever (deore) so I would be keen
to try and get a hold of a left side (rear) lever. The STX-
RC levers had the gear shift built in and I am also unsure
as to how centre pull levers would go with v brakes as I
have heard that they have a different pull rate or
something.

Cheers

I#m in Germany at the moment (so anz typos are this stupid keyboard#s fault!!) but when I get back, ask me again as I have some parts available. I know I have a set of Deore calipers at least.
