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.
