Brake
levers, front- and rear brakes originate also from the DONATOR mentioned above.

MAFAC "RACER" brakes from DONATOR cycle

Used brake levers from DONATOR cycle
The brakes are very
nice french
MAFAC central-pull brakes, but they don't match to the rims. Their
arms are way too short. Did I mention the word 'issue'?
A
funny solution might be a drop bolt (refer to Drop
Bolt), but I assume the worst.
What´s more, the frame does not offer cable stops for these types of brakes. To
make it short, I have ordered a new pair of vintage style Dia Compe MX1000 side-pull brakes. Side-pull brakes do not need frame-linked cable stops.

Rear brake

Special old fashioned cable guides mounted on the top tube
To install the brake cable housing I need special cable guides. They came together with the cable stop. It looks waay better than ordinary cable zippers.
Result: It fits, it looks good, it works.
