I tried a inexpensive Odyssey BMX sidepull and it fits perfectly on the front. I'll just have to get around to buying one. I've used them on a couple other bikes and they work well enough. It's nice that they cost less than $15.

The fork is one of those bladed Schwinn forged steel things. Same basic design used on millions of Schwinns up through the 70s. Hey, at least it's aerodynamic! I think they'll behave reasonably well with the brake, since the same kind of fork is found on other caliper equipped Schwinns such as the old Varsity, etc.

Speaking of the Varsity, the frame is a rather unusual design, a kind of half cantilever, half diamond. I've seen a small Varsity with the same styled frame. May have been the same dimensions for all I know, since I suspect my frame will accomodate 27" wheels. The other Schwinns I've seen with similar styled frames had smaller wheels, perhaps 24".

I've seen some Fireball tires, but they were too wide for this particular frame. A LBS carries inexpensive 1.75" whitewalls. Perhaps I'll use some of these for my bike.
