Different brakes would be needed, but I concur, even in bikes with
braze-ons for cantilever brakes, the touch points are not equidistant. It
would also help tremendously to have the braze-on to be able to screw in
the daruma for the front fender directly, instead of having to hang it from
the brake
I have started the construction process on my Cheviot. Frame is a 55, so 650B
wheels. Saddle height is 72cm. Color is gray. Details so far … old BoB Brooks
B17 saddle, Albatross bars on a Tallux 11cm stem (thanks Hugh S!), Deore rear
hub and Schmidt front dyno hub laced to Synergy rims. Compass
