Drill a hole through the stem and countersink for a cable end.
In a sturdy stem and at your own risk. Sorry- as an engineer and lawyer I need to add such a disclaimer.
Hmm- is sturdy French stem (specials excepted) an oxymoron?

> Well, much to my chagrin, my NOS Mafac Racer brakeset isn't going to work
on my 1970 Gitane. The steering tube is cut too short, and the addition of
the hanger for the front brake will not allow the lock ring to fit on. Oh
well. Anyone know if there is a fix to this problem, aside from buying a new
fork (which is out of the question)?

(time accurate) that they would want to part with? Standard reach, I
believe....
