Fork and brake question....
Without knowing anything about this fork other than what you see in the picture, what type of brakes do you think will work with it?
Basically this is a replacement for an old Trek single speed project I'm building, and I need to know what brakes to order. The description says " There are studs attached to each fork blade for mounting a cantilever brake."
Thanks!

also, if you live near a bike co-op go there and they wil help you find the correct part and show you hw to install it and it will be much cheaper.

Thanks for that link...I think I've got it figured out. I;m handy enough to do it myself once I have the parts in my hand, it's just figuring out what to buy in the first place that makes me crazy.
