dressing up a vintage '83 Raleigh never looked so good. Now if the snow was gone I could do some riding!

will be less chance of brake cable paint rub if you routed that cable on the other side of the headtube since the cable stop is centered.

Ha so now you tell me! LOL
Now I have two to consider that job with!
Well there is always something to do in the dead of winter when it is nine below zero...

I did the black in 2.5 and the white in 3.2 Lizard Skins... The 3.2 is a bit more of a challenge to install the end plug. But I certainly will enjoy both when it warms up in the Spring!
Thank you for the advise!
