Thanks for the pictures. Looks great. I'll take them, but I'm a little confused about how the chainstay stop works - does it just have the one hole to stop the cable or is there another that isn't visible.. I've never used one before, but assumed the cable goes through one hole and is stopped by the other...
sideben-
Just as any other cable stop brazed onto the frame, big hole toward the rear to let the outer cable through, the outer cable end or the ferrule then butts up against the hole that lets the inner cable through. Doesn't actually matter too much if there's no ferrule on the outer cable like in the pic due to the outer cables longitudinal wires.
PM me.

£20 posted (it's actually a 6503 not 6603 but same cable pull) bought it a couple of years ago intending to convert one of my older frames but I just don't have the time/trying to let some frames go. The adjuster bolts have been cleaned and relubed and the pivots/springs have had a squirt of liquid grease and the spring is tight as a drum, I think it's worth all the money, they're not easy to come by in that size in decent nick as I found to my cost.
The stay cable stop is a NOS bagged shimano with the bolt/nut plus a couple of gear cable crimp ends I'd like £8 posted for that, both together £27 posted
I can't find the DT stop but they are readily available on fleabay/SJS cycles.
I'm in North Herts so posting only viable option
let me know either way
