The brake bosses attach with long M6 bolts that go through the boss straight into the frame. :)

They wear most stuff well. I've tried. 🤣 Crack on as you see fit. It's going to be nice whatever. 👍 😁

Signing in for updates. Always good to see another one come together. :)

Cheap ones are just that, cheap! I've tried USE and a Thudbuster over the years, the Cane Creek was much better. Saying that I didn't miss it when I eventually got rid. I think and this is just speaking for me, that maybe I was trying to compensate for a poor fitting saddle and once that was...
