I'm wondering if anyone can help with a problem that I have run into with my single speed build. Its a 1980s (I think) Reynolds 531 frameset that i bought on ebay for a bargain price sometime ago, frame size is bigger than i would normally use, but with some adjustments it will be fine.

I'm wondering if anyone can help with a problem that I have run into with my single speed build. Its a 1980s (I think) Reynolds 531 frameset that i bought on ebay for a bargain price sometime ago, frame size is bigger than i would normally use, but with some adjustments it will be fine. I'm fitting ultegra 6600 brakes to it (taking advantage of all the bits in the spares bin!) - or should I say I hope to fit them, as the brake bolt won't fit in the hole on the back of the forks or for the back brake either. There's not much in it, a mm or 2 i reckon. Is it ok to just drill them to get the necessary fit - do it myself or bring it to someone who would have the equipment to do them quickly and properly and most importantly - straight!!! All comments and advice appreciated - thanks in advance!
