Subject: [CR]choices of brakes...

for a 1970 Ron Cooper frame. this may be a fairly basic question, but I was thinking of installing a set of sidepull brakes on this frame that was obviously centerpull originally. I have a set of centerpull calipers, but none of the ancillary bits, though I can machine interesting subsitutes.

My question, which also holds for a KOF Track bike that I would like to add a rear brake to (already drilled), is that the hole diameter is too small for the sleeved nuts that all my calipers have. I am not willing to ream anything out (except the seller of the frame that removed the original components).

Is there a particular set of calipers I should be looking at or should I

go with the universal centerpulls?...gabriel
