1993/4 Claud Butler Cape Wrath 653 stalled..for now

Re: 1993/4 Cape Wrath 653 (Retromod/Gravel/Cruiser)

The braking is still coming via the hub not rim so should look even

Agreed that a Magura - Vbrake or even a Canti on the rear would look awkward, what’s happening with brake bosses are you removing them for a cleaner look ?

No, they’re just going to have some little rubber covers, as the frame is being restored to original spec..

You never know, she might want a modern trail bike one day so I want to be able flog off all the “wrong” kit and take it back to catalogue...

Sellotape !

Fooking hell .... never though if using that to trace something out - clear,stays in place and always to hand

Live and learn - so obvious now
