Geez, just got my top tube cable guides from vintagecannondale.com. Well, the tangs on the clips are trying to spread open before the push pins can be started into the clips. Plenty bummed. The pins are to the point of bending over sideways, instead of pushing in. There is not enough shank length on the clip to get it past the inside of the frame tubing before it tries to open. The pins can be pushed in and out all day long off the bike. I am waiting for an email now. ,,,,BD

If I can find a pop rivet with a big enough head to hold the clip, and a small enough shank to go into the holes on the frame, I may go that route instead..... A little black touch up paint, and no one knows but me, and you all of course.

Overall, it doesn't look half bad.. Now I just need cable guides...
