Hunter - brakes, why on rear stays?

The Munieer said:

*Anyone know why the brakes on a Hunter are on the rear
most stays and not on the main stays?

I am wondering if the brakes on the main seat stay would
have been hit by a riders heal. Any thoughts?*

We can speculate here, but one idea would be to pick up the
phone and give Rick Hunter a call and ask him. From what I
hear he's quite accessible, and would probably love to hear
from someone that rides his product.

At least for the models with the single boss on each side,
it's a good thing they're on the rear stay....else the GB
Booster unit wouldn't be mountable. Although I doubt that
was a design consideration at the time....

you wouldnt be able to get the tool in the bolt to
tighten the brakes down,even a Bondhaus type allen wrench
would be very good.i did bring this up with Rick last
year,he told me he could make the gap slightly bigger so
brakes could work in there...it would make the frame
ultimately heavier though.
