Just put together my first fixie from a Dawes frame. It's also my first time riding a fixie and, after a short ride, I think I want a front brake. Since it's a flip-flop hub, I can switch over to single speed then as well.

The frame has the hole for a dual pivot brake. So do I just buy the brake and the lever, and install? Anything else I need to do? Pics aren't that great, but it does have the hole above the fork.

I have some Origin8 bullhorn grips coming but I assume they're going to be an issue with the brake lever. Not a big fan of tape; anyone have any other options for grips with a brake lever? I guess I can just cut the grips where the lever will go.

(Picked up the frame, tires, and wheels for $40; the Nitto bullhorns were $15, and the seat was laying around. The grips are just over $10. I was hoping to keep the cost to $100 but I think I'll be going over with the brake.)
