As such, I am looking for suitable replacements, but it turns out that there isn't a big selection of nutted brakes available. I have had my eye on the nutted version of the Tektro R539. Do you have any other suggestions? I don't care much about keeping the bike original as some previous owner converted the bike to 700C. Thanks!
