Correction: The center-mount Racers are identical to the braze-on Racers - they just have the additional bolt-on bridge and pivots installed, which keeps the bearings spaced correctly and attaches to the frame/fork brake holes. That's the reason the braze-ons are $14 cheaper than the bolt-ons: Fewer parts. Paul sells an aftermarket conversion kit for braze-ons for $50:
http://www.paulcomp.com/spareparts/racercentermountkit.html?relatedid=355 Considering that the bolt-on conversion kit costs $35 more than getting the bolt-on bridge preinstalled, I think the shrewd purchase is to buy the bolt-on version and then pull off the bridge when you've finally gotten the canti posts brazed on in the correct position. Not only does it give you the option of using the brakes before you've gotten your act together for torch surgery, but you have more resale options down the road.
