another drilling question
I know some of you here are anti-drilling, I haven't decided yet so don't fret - however, it appears my undrilled fork has enough area to drill on the frontside, but not enough for the larger recess hole on the backside. If I use a vintage caliper, wouldn't the backside hole be the same size as front, and I would secure the caliper w/ washer & nut? I may also go the keirin brake route, but I want to know what my options are.

For the cost, I would just buy another fork.

keirin brake is less than a new fork + intallation.

Is it really? I figured it would cost more that a $40 fork. OK. You may have won this round.
