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...

Cheers your Lordship...

Currently mucking about with graphics, took a quick sellotape & sharpie copy from my ‘94 Antaeus last night when I got back from the pub, :facepalm: so the lines were a bit rough, but there’s enough detail to scan and create from...

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

I love the XT thumbshifter coaster! Do you have a link to where I could get one? Just tried fleabay but nothing doing there.
