Cheers Greg. Wanted some that are up for a bit of hammer, as I am going "park" as I have one just opened down the road from me. (about 5 mins ride), so was gonna get some practice in now the weather is gonna get better. Cheers, Ad

The rear brake, mounted down on the chainstay will be an AD990. You could run one of those or an hombre (simpler block fixing), no worries.
Up front, there were the odd bike that had canti lugs fitted, but the majority were AD as well, so if you try your rear on the front and the blocks look right to the rim, game on!
Coincidentally, I have a s/h AD990 for the front for sale at the moment...... ;)
aditup2004:
Next question; If they take "U" brakes (which I think is correct, cheers San) then where or what does the cable attach to on the front? Is there a bracket that bolts to the fork drilling? Cheers, Ad
Sanmarcopizza:
The cable goes straight into the brake, but you do need to run a potts mod stem bolt as the cable comes out of the bottom of the steerer tube and then comes back up to the brake. I would recommend running a modern cable (Odyssey Slic or better still a Linear), as I think something old won't take the tight bend too well.
