thanks. it's been a while since i've added top tube cable clips to a bike -- i haven't overhauled such an old bike in a long time. i just assumed the front and rear clips would be equidistant from the two lugs, but upon looking at my falcon and g.record, this isn't the case. the rear one is closer to the center of the seat tube than the front is to the center of the head tube. after sanding the top tube paint to remove the yellowing, it was difficult to determine where they were located to begin, so i just followed the model of the other bikes and then split the difference with the middle clip.
