Front Brake Set Ups (what you got? how it do?)
just finished swapping parts from my nishiki frame to a fuji. the bike looks cleaner as a whole, so I wanna upgrade the old-ass center pull front brake set up I had going on the nishiki. the brake arms need to have ample reach because the fork is for 27"-ers.
What set ups are you all using that:
1. Looks neat-o
2. Won't break the bank

here you go. i have the same problem on the rear because it's a 27" frame and i put 700c tires on it
if you have mounts for downtube shifters, make it so the down tube shifter is the brake lever (not serious)

+1 on the centerpull, except get a weinmann instead, it's the same exact design (dia compe is commissioning it now), except there are a whole lot of them, which means that they should be seriously cheap.

yuss. i'm a legacy now. bfssfg LEGACY!!!!
Nitto e-lever on the *right* side
, Shimano ultegra sidepull down on the fork (no picture sorry).
Satisfies: Looks neato, Dissatisfies: won't brake the bank. Plus, everyone will hate you for spending $50 on a brake lever that doesn't work very well. However, I can attest to it getting me out of some pretty sticky situations, including the rear window of a volkswagen bus just the other day.
