One brake boss is missing. I don't see problem. (if thread is good) Shouldn't be too hard to fix this on alu frame.

are they threaded in on all the Marin frames or just the aluminum ones?

An easy fix. Go for it!

I enquired about this frame some time ago. The seller quoted me £100 to post it to Australia.

I hope postage to Montreal is cheaper.

Re:

If you need a quote for postage to see if the seller is being reasonable do to Royal Mail and then Price finder

It will ask for approx weight and destination
Should
give you a guideline

1.) Check thread size M8 or M10

2.) Buy Here: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/d2o-v-brake- ... prod33864/

3.) Wait for postie to deliver

4.) Screw into frame

And if you were 14 again, you'd just use your foot as the brake and save the money for some Bensons
