Its always cool when someone finds a bike that is meaningful to them and plays around with it. Im looking forward to seeing what you do with the pedals

Thanks for the heads up. Yep, I'm staying with canties (just because I like the cable routing on the rear and don't want those points to be unused). I figured the adjustable pull would get me out of trouble here but you might have just given me an excuse to replace these with something from the 90s. ;D That would have been hard to justify to myself otherwise given that I already had these close-enough levers kicking around.I think those Speed Dial 5 brake levers are designed for V-Brakes - They will probably work with cantilevers but if braking isn't as good as you hoped for, maybe change them.
This is cool! Thanks for the throwback! I re-remembered that they did some of these bits when I saw this (and re-remembered the "Racing Tackle" tagline too) but I didn't know they did whole frames.And if you're a Fred Salmon fan, catalogue is here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/fred-salmon-racing-catalogue.1390/
