Very nice Dave.
As for the rear brake , when I built up the RTS-2 frame I got from you I ran the cables the same as in the link supplied by Merckx further up this page.
I used the brass insert from an electrical cable connector block as the clamp to join the cables. Works a treat although it's brass. Would have been better if it was a white metal.
Not a great deal of brake power , no wonder the system died a sudden death ! Thank goodness for the standard front brake.

Thanks for the comments guys,especially the one's about the rear brake I was wondering what I could use for fixing the cables together!!
I wanted to build this as per factory spec with a few things changed as what would have been changed bitd (cranks,brakes etc)
I really enjoyed all the gathering of parts etc and can't wait for the next one!
As for this it's going to stay as it is apart from a tioga disk drive rear wheel,but that will have to wait for the time being!!
