Can't wait for those peices. Think I even might have some tyres for you, or at least tell you where you can get them. Reinforced and cheap as chips on top of that. A bargain you'd never be able to make in Barhain.Woz":1hqrimjh said:I'll start getting peices together soon enough.

I've always known bike cables as "bowden cables" but never knew why. Now I do :roll:Woz":2so0dpqm said:While there will not be any wrenching progress for a while, I did find some more information about the original Bowden brake.
A similar model was called and marked "1923", but the original brake appears earlier due to the very basic patent application and so
potentially dates the De Dion - Bouton earlier too, perhaps late 1910s.
Some scanning on Ebay suggests they are sort after. Seems a bit like the Campag Delta brakes; fiddly to set-up,
not the best stoppers, and stupidly expensive! I'm actually tempted to sell the Bowden brake caliper and very rare and
quirky brake lever to finance the rest of the build and replenish the wine cellar
What an excellent idea! Why not re-lace it to an Arthur Sturmey 2-speed Schturmbahnführer. Will give you one speed to get up to the bullanger for your morning baguette and another one to get back home from the pub later. Plus a proper coaster brake. Just make sure the arm is properly secured to the chain stay...I'm actually tempted to sell the Bowden brake caliper and very rare and
