Brake Update

I realized I never posted my fix to the 27in to 700c conversion. I found some Dia Compe 981 cantilever brakes in good condition and bought some new Kool Stop pads. I tried to take some pictures of the clearance but I haven't had any issues even running 700x40c tires. Stopping power is great! I have put decent mileage on the bike so far and I enjoy riding it as much as my SC Stigmata. Thanks for all the input!
