Fat Chance Yo Eddy Redux II

[wooly pluto]

Hi, awesome bike, really!!!
I have a set of these Paul Cross Stop for one wheel (unfortunately some bits ar missing, rest is NOS) - and I wonder whether they work before I start to arrange the missing parts. Do they work with canti or V-brake levers? Any oppinions about them?
Currently I have Paul Motolite Z that I am pretty happy with, just wanted to have something different

I managed to get the brakes working ok in the end - just a case of fiddling with the setup and cable angles etc.

Is it worth tracking down spares to replace a working set of Pauls? Not sure...

Thanks for reply about brakes, that seems like the same answer I got from Paul Enginnering when I contacted them soon after purchase of my cross-top incomplete set. They replied me that the best way to make them work is to install the Motolite-Z
Nevertheless, they look cool
By the way, I got my cross-top for about 5 quid as the seller was not very familiar with "P" sticker and thought It was some taiwanese rubbish.... Shimano sticker would have definitely made it more expensive

The crosstop was out of neccessity. The fork steerer was too short to run a cable hanger. It had to be a ringle / king / pauls front end so crosstop it was

Well that situation makes for a nice excuse to get some great anno bits! Your lucky the situation provided you w/ justifiaction. I wish i was so lucky?

thats looking nice , certainly the brakes are an improvement over the original alivios that the german & french forums took the pi$$ out of when you first built it up

so I guess you;re on the look out for a larger frame given that this 1s blatently too small for you? with that saddle to stem position change all your need is some tri bars
