I've just noticed Your frame has the brake on the chainstays, all the other Stout Boy frames I've seen have them on the seatstays?! Even if You find a mid-school brake with shorter pad slots (Shimano?) another problem You'll run into will be the tyre rubbing on the brake arms if You want to run a shorter backend!

Theres a thread on the museum that I found that sort of talks about this.....This was one of the "first off" originals and apprantly they ran the brakes on both the chainstays and the seat stays.....Bit random I guess but all of the others were mounted on the seat stays after.  Possibly because of this problem?

Jaymz:
It's all part of the fun

I know it's not era correct, but I would get either an original Odyssey Evolver, a Primo E-brake or a Revenge Industries brake. They all have the extra adjustment You need plus a bit more room around the brake arm area (the Revenge has the most in this area) If You reshaped them a little perhaps it would look a bit more mid school  :daumenhoch:

Betty:
Did S&M make these frames? They were notorious for brake mounts in the wrong place  :crazy2:

Proper do a u brake that gives plenty of room  :daumenhoch:
