[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 94050, member: 1557"] John Surtees had one of these Seeley front brakes on the front of a Vincent. I have been wanting to find out how the brake shoes and adjustment were designed on this hub. A quick internet search reveals that Molnar offer them, a snip at £1850 + VAT..... I have seen replica Ceriani 230mm 4ls brakes offered for a very similar sum. Are the Seeley brakes really comparable? FWIW this arrangement of linked brake shoes can be found on bicycles for small children, usually Continental ones. They are very good for small hands without much strength. Paul [/QUOTE]
