@rhn, I appreciate all the education on vintage European brakes! That’s exactly why I joined this site, I have learned more in the last two days on here! I’m not too worried about the brake as the bike will be for display only. To answer your question... why? Dang, I don’t know? I have been collecting bicycles since 1983 and have gone from post war balloon tire to prewar Schwinn’s and early Stingrays to vintage BMX but I also like the unusual small bikes.
