Hola everybody! BTW, thanks to all the people who helped me with my messaging issue...I was finally able to contact and make a deal w Joel Jeter and was able to take that sweet double straightbar frame off his hands. And thanks for the killer deal Joel!!
Aaaaaand speaking of that frame...the only way I can get my caliper to fit this "bracket" without changing to a longer mounting bolt, is to mount it upside down on the inside of the frame. I actually think it looks kinda cool, but I was wondering if there is any reason(s) why I shouldn't. I mean, the directional pull is the same and the calipers aren't any weaker just from simply facing the opposite direction, and Im on the opposite side of the mounting bracket, but I dont see how that would be an issue either...any thoughts?? Am I overlooking anything? I'm running a vintage schwinn springer front end, so I cant put any front brakes on it...depending on what I hear here...my only other options are either a coaster brake, or a longer mounting bolt. I'll post updates of the build in the proper forum. Thanks in advance...
