Hi all,

continuing with this conversion project I'm doing for a friend, I need a set of brakes with a long bolt on the front caliper and 26.0 clamp size. Looking for both front and rear, with levers (not drop levers) and cables if possible.

The very last thing for the build, managed to get the old broken quill stem out and put in a newone, cleaned up wheels and got new chain, sorted the chainline, stripped frame of old gears and stuff. Recovered the old saddle.

Not looking to pay anymore than £20 all in, so as cheap as poss if anyone has em?

Much appreciated//Tash

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
