i usually ride with brakes so when i bought this kazane with an undrilled fork i immediately started looking for a way to mount a brake. i found only two kits available and luckily both can be found locally! the first was the dia compe brs-101 (http://www.chariandconyc.com/grancompe-keirinbrakekit.aspx) kit and then the eai/promax kit (http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3748). i decided to go with the eai kit since it has better fork clamps and a cross top style lever.
the kit was pretty easy to put on and the whole setup seems really sturdy. the clearance between the tire and the bracket are REALLY close. i suppose i can move the clamps up but i think it will be fine.
