Graham, I'm sure there was some one on here a few years back, that did this to a Quadangle, could have been Darren KAP.

Didn't Costa do a black quad as well?

just looked and can't see any of Costa's bike in Me & My bikes section...
He definitely had a black quad with the lugs off

I'm with Pickle though - if you've got a new frame with a new brake why mod it so it doesn't work so well?
If you want OG brakes get an old loopy to put them on

hokuspokus74:
I only want to do it,coz to approx anything upto £600 + for a OS ripper F&F i just mad as prices for the OS bikes,parts is rising constantly etc ive a few bikes with cantilevers brakes etc and i just cant seem to get them to work rite bloody things.
