  • ^ thanks.

    Realised while waking up this morning, that I haven't done anything about routing the gear cables around the bottom bracket.

    Whilst it won't be 'period correct', I have just ordered a plastic Campagnolo cable guide (£3.60 from Halfords online)!

    This does mean I'll have to take off the cranks and bottom bracket, and drill and tap a hole in the BB shell. Which means yet another delay getting this on the road.

  • This may be sacrilege but can you simply glue the cable guide to the shell?
    I used some contact adhesive to glue a cable guide to the BB shell of my cannondale and it's still there 2 years later.

    Oh, and bike is beautiful.

  • I did this too with an old Raleigh, you've got the tension of the cables holding it onto the curve of the BB shell so it should be fine.
