A bicycle brake mechanism includes a body located above a front wheel and a pivotable member is pivotably connected to the body. A hydraulic device is connected to the pivotable member so as to pivot the pivotable member. Two brake arms are located on two sides of the rim and two respective first ends of two link units are respectively connected to two ends of each of the brake arms. The two respective second ends of the links units are connected to two ends of the body. One end of each of the two brake arms is pushed by the pivotable member when the hydraulic device is activated so as to pull the pivotable member. The two link units make the two brake arms to be simultaneously moved to stop the rim.

What is claimed is: 1. A bicycle brake mechanism comprising: a U-shaped body adapted to be located above a front wheel and two slots defined through two respective tops of two ends of the body, a pivotable member having two legs which extend through the two slots, two pins extending through the two legs and pivotably connecting the two legs to the body; two brake arms located at inside of the body and movably connected to the body by two tubes, each brake arm having a brake pad connected thereto, the two tubes being in contact with the pivotable member so that the two brake arms are moved when the pivotable member is pivoted, two link units pivotably connected to two ends of each of the brake arms and the body so that the two brake arms are moved simultaneously, and a hydraulic device including a hydraulic pipe connected between a brake lever and a connector which is connected to the body, an operation cable movably extending from the connector and pivotably connected to the pivotable member. 2. The mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the brake arms has two first lugs extending from a first end thereof and two second lugs extending from a second end thereof, the two tubes are respectively connected to the second lugs of the two brake arms and extend through two first elongate holes defined through the two ends of the body. 3. The mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the link units includes two first links and two second links, the first links have a first end pivotably connected to the first lugs of each of the two brake arms, a second end of the first links are pivotably connected to connection lugs on the body, the first links have a first end pivotably connected to the second lugs of each of the two brake arms, a second end of the second links are pivotably connected to a through hole in each of the two ends of the body. 4. The mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivotable member has two top lugs on a center thereof and a securing unit is connected to the two top lugs, the securing unit is connected to an end of the operation cable. 5. The mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein a top cap is mounted on the body and includes two second elongate holes which are in alignment with the first elongate holes of the body, the tubes extend through the two second elongate holes. 6. The mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two pins each have an aperture and a spring clip extends through the aperture to prevent the pin from being pulled backward through the two holes in the two plates of the body. 7. The mechanism as claimed in claim 3, wherein a rod extends through the first end of each of the first links and the first lugs of each of the brake arms to form a first pivotable portion, a bolt extends through the second end of each of the first links, a torsion spring, a support tube for receiving the torsion spring and the connection lugs of each end of the body and is connected to a nut so as to form a first positioning portion, another rod extends through the first end of each of the second links, the tube between the second lugs and the second lugs of each of the brake arms to form a second pivotable portion, another bolt extends through the second end of each of the second links and the through hole of the body and is connected with another nut so as to form a second positioning portion.
