The frame badge says Equipie LaZuatite. It's a steel frame advertised as a fixie and I'm trying to use a set of Oval R700 linear pull brakes that I had from a previous build. I wanted a single speed because there are no hills where I'm working and living at the moment. The brakes seem to be short reach and it could be that the fork was meant for a larger wheel. But then again a larger wheel wouldn't fit on the rear. It's possible that the fork and frame are mismatched. I guess I can either replace the fork, replace the brake or just use a rear brake.
