Bikes: Lots of English 3-speeds, a couple of old road bikes, 3 mountain bikes, 1 hybrid, and a couple of mash-ups

I did the same thing on a Raleigh Olympian a few years back.

I did switch to upright bars and cheap VO City brake levers. I'm using the pads that came with the brakes. The rims are CR18's, and I set the front brake tighter than the rear.

I feel confident in the braking; if I wanted any improvement, I would sitch the pads to Kool Stop.
