I bought an old (27" ?) frame to build up as a fixed gear. It works great, except one problem. It
has no brakes. I bought as an empty frame and therefore have modernized all the bits on it. When I
went to install new brakes, I found they do not reach the rim, even with the pads at the bottom of
the adjustment slots. I don't particularly want to have a new tube welded in for the right spacing.
My question is, are there any conversion kits available? (bolt on brackets, etc.) I am wanting to
upgrade this to a commuter bike, backpedaling is fine for the open road, but isn't fast enough while
dodging people.
Thanx,
Dan
PS - I'm running 700c tires, in case it's not a given.
