[Jamiedyer]

Clive I have emailed you tonight as I noticed my reply to your message is still sitting in my outbox from the 17th!!
Most likely because I have done it from my phone or something. AArgghh, bloody technology, helping me but hindering me at the same time trying to buy old obsolete parts

Wasn't the phone Jamie it was lack of connectivity on my part (the joys of moving house) have PM'd you some pictures though.

I might have a set of Mafac Racer centre pulls available at some point. Unable to give a timescale as there's an insurance claim involved.

Got hit by an elderly motoris,t ploughing through a roundabout, 4 weeks ago. :roll:

The calipers are lovely though.

Re:

OUCH!
is it just the back wheel that's done or are the frame and gears also gone?

The rear triangle (LHS) was hit and is a bit bent. The bars have had it, a brake lever, the saddle and the DS crank are all a bit battered.

The rider has just gotten off crutches with help from a lovely young physio. I got flung off the bike and came down on my hip. Also injured my hand and lower leg. Could have been much worse.

Big thanks to the ambulance service and my local A&E btw.

The driver has been put on a driver awareness course. :facepalm:

There's a cheap set of centre pull MAFACs on another forum, OP.

Re: Mafac Cantilever brake set and levers

All sorted now thanks to everyones help.
I have a couple of sets of Racers but was needing to get a set of Canti for front and back of the Mercian.
I was swapping out the Weinmann cantis for another build and really wanted the Mafacs on the Mercian, even though they are very similar.
Thanks for all your help.
