Killer frame!

For brakes you could go Pitbulls, 901's, BOA's, Bulldogs...

Personally, I'd run silver Pitbulls or 901's on the seatstay wishbone. It's just so race. Then you could use the padset as a cable guide. Mounting brakes on the chainstays will work too but something like Pitbulls might give you chainrub even with a 44/16.

blimey dan!

have you got a mid school skip at the bottom of your manor that you just dive into now and again!?

nice!

imo stick a pitbull on the seatstays. it'll be easier to route the cable along the top and a boa will look too stocky for slick race frame

Ive got a Nippon on my lugless Mk 1 Holmes, but I think I might use a pitbull on the next lugless frame I build

Ive never really had any luck with brakes on the seat stays other than 990s. Ive tried loads of times but never got it to work out

I've got a Pitbull on my Challenger, but it's pretty poo.  I got it to work fine with the Oddy Posi-Stop upside down.  But at Braintree last week, the arms wouldn't return after putting the brake on (might have been due to mud clogging the rollers/cams).

I'm gonna try a side pull road bike brake on it next.

martyc has\donated me a pitbull so i will run that ,if i ever get to race it and it doesnt work
then i might slide a side puller on also just for the racing side ,then put pitbull back on for best.

Sounds like a plan  :daumenhoch:

I just want my bike to be functional (and legal) for the OS races, so it has a real mish-mash of different era parts on it from the 80s, 90s and 00s.

that is the prob with pitbulls esp with the pozi stop setup
that cam easily gets gunked up

might work better with the arm and spring that comes with them ?
though def don't look as like TBH
