I know that I could. But there is a big part of me that would just die inside if I altered the original frame. This bike is as original as it gets... And if I were to do that, there'd be no turning back. You know, though, if it made more sense for me to do it as far as functionality of the rear break goes, I would do it. But I don't think functionality is really a player, here. I am guessing by the fluidity of Rob's response that it's a tried and true method.

While I do understand the idea of bringing older bikes to modernity via modification, and I also don't feel 100% legit putting the front brake on the back, I truly don't know if I could ever forgive myself for altering the original frame.
