Lava Dome ('91) comfortable commuter

Yes indeed they are M5, I'm using 16mm long which is longer than necessary.
I also have one holding a P-clip in place at the back as a cable guide with what I think is an M4*12 bolt on the eyelet. One detail I should mention in using v brakes was I ran the cable outer the full length from lever to caliper (using Jagwire KEB-SL compressionless outer, in theory it should be firmer than standard)

Good call if your bottle cages are a bit thicker

Sunday morning was spent on the bike, doing a couple of hours loop to get out of the urban area and into the countryside. With the addition of mudguards and swapping the saddle for a Brooks B15 (where have you been all my life??) it was a really nice morning.
