That looks like my frame alright. Even the fork looks the same. I still don't understand why the back brake fits and the front doesn't. Shouldn't they have the same relationship to the rim? Shouldn't the distance from the mounting hole to the braking surface of the rim be the same? I can't imagine that a frame would use brakes with different reaches.
