rear brake gone, now what?
Hey everyone, just like to start off saying thanks for the insight I've gathered from this site in doing my first fixie conversion - a very nice '84 Schwinn World Sport that was about as good as I could ask for. I would have been pretty frustrated without all the help.
I just removed my rear brakes so now there's just the drill holes in the frame. My question is, what do you all use to plug up the holes without looking ridiculous? I've got a too long nut and bolt with washers set up now. The front brake is staying.

If you really needed to do it, just use caulk to fill it ?
