There has been mention before of the removable rear brakes that use aluminum plates and a wing bolt to clamp around the seat stays. These are manufactured and sold in Japan. Has anyone seen them offered in the states? I can get them if anyone is interested. One mail order catalog company here shows two types in their catalog. There is a standard model for around $25 and a deluxe at about $50. I'd have to enquire about the differences.
