Started building today and I’ve come unstuck. I tried to put the cable guide on underneath but there aren’t any threads. Can the rubber inserts be sourced to attach it on?

You can rivet or on some you drive a plastic peg in. Great frame by the way.

Thanks Andy.
Are there any types of plastic pegs that work best?

 

[AndyMart]

The one that comes with the guide! Usually. Or tap it for a screw?

 

[AndyMart]

Or glue on.

Or glue on.

I went for numberplate tape. Worked a treat!

Not finished but coming together now. The blue tyre is a turbo tyre so won’t be staying on.

That is a great looking project, I'm a fan of 531 framesets.

Finished off the build this morning and pretty happy with it now. Just got the seatpost to change to a Deda one once it arrives and to get the old wheel set up and running for nice days. Other than that it’s ready to ride!

Finally got to go out and ride it. Rides like a dream!
