I went with a longer hardened bolt.
On the lookout for a flanged 8mmx1.0 40mm to replace this one and the washers, but this will do for now.

Added some leather cable ties. Seem to hold them in place well. White and gold.
Also picked up the thick spacers for the fork. Now i wont feel so woried its gonna bend on me when i bunny hop it.[emoji48] .
I made them with some leather scrap I bought last summer.
Was a cool print, like $5 a bag.
Great solution!I went with a longer hardened bolt.

Nice work on those alligator cable guides!

I put tye guard on this morning and was pleasantly surprised. No chain rub, clearance or any othe kind of issues.
And personally, i like chain guards that are low on the front, i think they look cool, so this was a delight.
Aweome!

I stopped by local bike store to find a brake cable. Found one, and about 20' of housing...
Oooo! Is that vintage cream color housing?

Its some generic slightly darker than white. I wish it were aged cream color, now you mention it... heje
Vinyl holds the rattle can paint well....if you know what I mean....
The one on the far left, Satin Ivory Silk, might give you the look you want:
Great idea!! that I will have to try before crimping the ends on the cable.
The color difference is subtle.
But will make a lot off difference when on the bike.

Worked this bracket, almost ready to bolt in the rear caliper.
And sanded , glued, masked and glossed up the ten ball..

600 and 1000 grit wet sand, then Rustoleum, Triple Thick Glaze, paint.
You know, I didnt even see the build in the reflection. Cool!
