I hadn't realized that the Paul Racer was actually created because of a request from Grant. Below is content (hope it views properly). Includes a link to a related video for project inspiration.
The Racer Brake Making the Classics Even Classier We’re a bike component company for people with tricks up their sleeves. You’ve got plans for those old frames lying around...you just don’t know what they are yet. Back in March we had an upcycle idea for your old mountain bike <http://paulcomp.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5871cd1aab61e668a1275b221&id=7994ab722d&e=f5449e7ee3>, and now we’ve another suggestion for converting that old steel classic or 27-inch wheel bike to a 700c: *It’s called the Racer Brake <http://paulcomp.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5871cd1aab61e668a1275b221&id=1c3617e3b3&e=f5449e7ee3>. * Or what’s known as a long-reach brake with a reach of 57 to 70mm. Back in the day, Grant Peterson of Rivendell fame called Paul requesting a centerpull brake like the Mafac Racer. Which sounded crazy But when Paul pulled down some old frames and got to thinking, he could see it’d be great for conversion. What's so special about a Mafac replica? The arms are much stiffer than your typical dual pivot brake, which means more power is transferred for stopping. Below is our video how-to on the conversion, and it’s housed on our BRAND NEW VIDEO PAGE <http://paulcomp.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5871cd1aab61e668a1275b221&id=f8b185241f&e=f5449e7ee3>, where all of our videos can be found. Note that the Racer is available in recessed and non-recessed mounting in black, silver, and high polish. (Sorry folks, no green).
