The persistent connections between the Raleigh and the Mo' Bacon have surprised me. The Raleigh being the source of the handlebars that kicked off the inspiration for the Bacon is the obvious one, but as I was working on the build I was looking around the garage for a spare Huret Jubilee bottom bracket cable guide that I thought I had in reserve. It turned out I had used it on the Raleigh. Then as I was finishing the Bacon build, I discovered that the brazed on cable stop for the rear derailleur was an odd size that didn't match either standard modern shift ferrules, bare shift cable housing, or the common diver's helmet cable stop that requires a stepdown ferrule. What it did match was a custom ferrule that @oneclick had machined for me for the Raleigh build. Fortunately, he sent me two!
