Can you identify the rim? A small machinist could make up a hub - but spokes and rim would be a lot more challenging.

I'm chucking in that red chill pill i just found at home in the bits and pieces drawer😎

The Taint is too strong for me. Like boar taint, some people are unaffected. Probably genetic 🤔

Travel agent increases the cable pull from canti- brake levers to v-brake arms. This was popular because a lot of high end bikes in 95 had rapidfire plus sti - the brake levers were integral to the gears, soto upgrade to vs was a days wages to pay for separate gear pods.

Tainted by the brand owner's tendency to push BSOs to the young and gullible, and put them off bicycles for life🙁 But then that makes them a bargain😉

Bikes barely visible: Mierystock Bridge, Near Lydbrook. But you can see the bikes here👍

Due bizarrely to griff the hound having a sore paw, we went for a friday ride instead of a walk😃 Me and my lovely wife, like old times, back in the c20th🤯 She's on her khs comp softtail I'm on P7onEarth. So many gentle rides in the Forest of Dean, if you're a mile away from a car park...

Here's Tina's KHS, owned from new, from our shop in 2000. Last seen action Normandy 2019! Still wearing its Touring Plumage Riding in the FoD🤠 She thought: v-brakes aren't much cop if you've got used to discs...

That, or the DM on the front tyre used to Fix Cantis bitd🤣

We need to increase the pull from 2x20 (assumed - the double lever is advertised as being for cantilever, and the OP is applying it that way) to a single 40mm v- brake pull to satisfy @Imlach 's "fixing cantilevers for ever" Op already has double cable pull lever, and the bmx splitter used as...

Then we need an adapter to change that assumed 2x 20mm canti- cable pull into 1x 40mm vbrake pull. Sounds like a job for @novocaine 🤔 Here's a quick doodle of what I might lash together with things to hand by the counter:

That's what I thought (and I sold them new) until a fellow retrobiker posted his disc-less sardar to prove me wrong. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-other-how-much-is-my-xyz-worth-thread-for-98.140396/page-71

Can't have to many brakes on a tandem. we've got disc, drum and 2 sets of cantis🤞 4 brakes for 2 people - that's average

Not early ones
