It'll be a few weeks, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles shows a couple of bikes with the brake mounted "backwards".

Mounting the brake backwards is a lot easier with sidepull brakes than it is with centerpulls; my current randonneuse (to be replaced by this bike) is set up that way.Glenn Ammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056589746993017852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-67429213950291551942007-10-10T10:44:00.000-04:002007-10-10T10:44:00.000-04:00Neil, Aesthetics and cable routing were the main i...Neil, Aesthetics and cable routing were the main issues.Velo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-10624402812497669182007-10-09T21:58:00.000-04:002007-10-09T21:58:00.000-04:00Once again, Johnny's detail work just shines.
