Been putting together a 1970s Claud Butler 531 frame using parts taken from my stash. Front wheel has a SON dynamo and rear has a wide range Suntour Ultra 6 freewheel. Bar cons, Mafac Racer brakes with C Record levers (which work very nicely together), Specialites TA triple with a 26-38-42 combination, Vélo Orange fenders. The bike will be my vélotaf/wet weather ride.
i set it up at first with the brake cables running along the bars, but the rear brake cable stops were clearly designed for cables running out the top of the levers. So I'll find a hole punch and open up the top of the hoods to reroute the brake cables. (Edit to say I found the punch, and the cables have been rerouted. Much better!)
