Hey guys and gals!

I'm building up a mixte for my girlfriend's birthday in August and today I was installing some old dia-compe long reach centerpull brakes (complete with nice new V brake pads!) onto both the front and the rear of the bike. The front was easy but the rear presented some problems. I need a really long Cabble Straddle to reach around the seat tube. I was brainstorming about this tonight and I was wondering if I could use an older cantilever brake straddle or if I could find an extra long centerpull brake straddle for sale on the internet. Any body have a clue?

She's really cute and I might like to marry her one day, if you can help you're invited to the wedding. There will probably be Jeni's Ice Cream!
