I have a 1983 Trek 620, with the fixed Jim Blackburn rear rack. 2 small dents in dt, fork was sloppily drilled for allen brake. I used a bolt on brake with no problem. headset is shot. paint good. I used Tektro/silver very long reach brakes on it. Gives you more room than 57s So it fit SKS p45 fenders with Gran Bois 30mm tires. 57mm brakes would fit also.
