Whats the brake lever Simon

Seeing these FreeAgents just confirms why they are sought after old school racers.

its a DC Dirty Harry - NS Lever, but its the only one i can use with my paw reach.

ive gone through every OS lever in the last year, tech 3, 4, 5, 77 everything is too near the bars also i find that this one really pulls a lot of cable and i can actually get the brake to work!

I don't go fast enough to use a brake.

When i did use mine at B'mouth the other week it hardly worked anyway, pesky DC MX 900's.

The mongoose solution in blue was caliper brake - I remember fuzzy riding one at backyard - with a bigdog or boa caliper. I would love one of those!
Se Racing also did a 21" toptubed assasin frame as well I thnk - I had one that I sold to Jai.

Generalee/gossa - The steel solution definately was caliper, it has a large diameter brake spindle hole, a pain really but as generalee points out mine has a BOA in it.

I had Duly's old one first circa 1990/1? backyard, got of hotwheels who ran the mongoose team? sent it back it was bent to buggery - what did I expect with Kieth's knarly 360's over everything. After that I bought a brand new one, still have it to this day, it suffered a bit of bastardisation with having brake lugs and cable hanger brazed on it 91/92 and then getting a chrome job! Still down in my garage - shes a beauty everytime I look at her, considering restoring the frame back to original, would love to know about the colour spec, from memory it was a weird (but nice) bluey purple metalic getup.

Anyone know where I could get a) stickers and b) forks as mine bent front ending runnymede triples in 91/2 now got gen 1 ditchforks.
