Looking good If you have trouble getting some period vintage Jap centre pulls Dia Compe do new ones which are reasonably priced.

Which Decals are you going for? The Script style?

Re:

Was going to use the weinmann brakes that came with it. As for decals if the ones that are on it are available I'd like the same again. Will have a look at the dia compe wasn't aware of any jap center pulls

The mock up went a bit further, bars arrived and I tried some shimano brake levers from the parts bin.

I like your wine rack

Somewhere in the depths of my spares I have some black Jap / shimano centre pull brakes.

Re:

Will need to build some 27" wheels for this one as the brakes are at the limit so I think it was built for them. Want to drill the chainrings to match the brake levers and milremo amateur saddle. It is a little small for me so ultimately I may end up selling on. Think it would look good with high flange hubs.

curious to see them

I have the silver version with the matching levers with double commands , but to tell the truth, the brake shoe tuning height is limited !
I wanted to use on one bike and it did not fit ( true it was a 650 conversion)
had to use the ubiquitous Mafac Racer which are much more "flexible" in this regard
Still in the back of my mind to put on a 1970's "jap" build ,
full chrome frame with Crane GS long cage and a triple ( possibly SR )
