Re:
Hi
Well thank you to all the comments and suggestions.
I have to say I have paid for some cantis brakes from someone on here just to try out but not sure, In fact they were paid for early last week but still not been delivered.
When having the frame resprayed I was going to have the Cantis brake stand removed however I wanted to have the choose to go back to the original set up if I wanted.
At the end of the day she rides so smoothly, feel really balanced and I'm so happy the colour works. If you look close I have replaced some of the bolts to a gold colour which will be added to as I find the correct ones to fit.
May change the tyres over to Nobby Nicks only because of the grip they give in the wet and loose ground.
The comb brake and gear will need to be changed as the clear plastic cover is broken which unfortunately was filled with grit/ mud / chalk and water on the last bike ride over the downs.
So my DB will be used as my daily bike as that's how I feel It should be, to truly respect the original bike builders and keep her on the road /track to be seen and used for what she was designed to do.
One area which I love about the whole rebuilding of the DB or may be in any rebuild is the knowledge that every part of that bike I have stripped down, clean, inspected, Oiled / greased, filed, ground, searched, replaced, asked for advise, rebuilt and hopefully have many years of enjoyment.
The only problem now is that next ?
