Hello

working on restoring my first bicycle (a 70's steel frame) which came with single pivot brakes and 26" wheels.

the front brake is inoperable so i'm looking for a replacement

will ANY side-pull brake (that mounts to the center hole in the fork) fit or is it a matter of fork+brake+wheel fitment?

i found a decent used set on craigslist but the seller is indicating that this is for 700c wheels, does he/she know as little as i do or is there something to this?

i plan to use the same 26" wheels.
