I need some help with a restoration and have some road related questions regarding the bike in this thread
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=219975
firstly I want to use cable brakes, upgrading from bar pull. im looking around for side pull brakes but...
would I need 700c wheels? frame had 26inch
would they fit the frame?
the fork only has a hole in the back of the crown, do I drill the front? or fit to the back
the rear spacing is 120mm is that going to be a problem?
should I stick with cotter cranks or go with square taper for convience
id like to use the bike so practicalty and comfort counts but id like to keep it looking vintage as its my granddads still.
thanks in advance for any advice
im also on the look out for nice but cheep vintage stuff
