Cheers guys, I knew the post was going to be contentious and agreed it looks **** but does make for a good riding position. This was going to be a rider but on having a quick spin round the garden it became evident that the brakes are next to useless, I'm sure my Araya 7X rims from BITD were much better at stopping than these Skyways (even considering the extra two stone of load). Any thoughts as to how I might improve the braking?

Also any suggestions for a post and saddle that might suit......Uni.......?

All OS brakes are pretty poor mate, as you've mentioned, none of us are what we weighed aged 13 anymore.

Tuffs are worse than alloys, better if you add new school type pads, such as Xposure, but these squeal like a pig.  "nono"

I always put a single brake (rear) with my alloys, and use tan DC blocks, they seem to be ok for me, and I'm nudging 15 stone.  :daumenhoch:
