Hi All

I am trying to track down a part for a set of Weinmann brakes that are part of a vintage rebuild. If anyone has the part circled in red it would make my day/week/month.

Thanks

Andy

Have you tried asking on Cycling UK forum?
These would have been used by tourists in days of old and that is the site for what was the Cyclist Touring Club, IIRC.

Are you looking for that particular straddle bridge? Other nice ones are available, Compass make a copy of the old Rene Herse one and dia compe have cheaper ones that would fit the bill, unless you do really want to match straddle bridge to calliper.

Yes I have just one of the cable hangers on the front brakes and really want to match it on the back. Thanks!

Top class. I really wanted someone to come up with a result on this one, it was so unusual.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
