so this bike here is the spookytooth stealth, i want it cause of its flat blackness. BUT it has no rear v-brake only a rear coaster brake. would it be possible to add a rear v-brake and do away with the coaster brake? or is this just dumb?
 
If its a steel bike (I'm believing it's the first one of the two pic's),then I'm seeing the tube cut from a donor bike w/brk lugs attatched on top of the bottom chain stay.,leaving the clean upper coaster look on the top tube
 
Anything can be done its just how much work you want to do:-||
I have done this sort of thing on some of my bikes got to get it right or it wont work.
 
Yes,That covers most mechanical tilngs,You'll have a better chance starting with a operable part if you want success
 
If the fork has a hole already in it"right above the tire" then you can add a $10 side pull caliper very easy or if you want the other $$ style brakes you can get a $10 adapter plate that comes with 2 lugs.
