I have this Bob Jackson touring bike that I am currently trying to fix up as a Randonneur/light touring bike. Previous owner had it set up with Ahead adapter, flat bars, XT levers and V-brakes.
I am trying to convert it to a drop bar setup with cantilever brakes. However, the rear canti holder looks like nothing I have ever seen before. I have googled and couldn't find a similar frame from Bob Jackson anywhere, the World Tour has a standard rear canti mount.
Does anybody know how to fix a cantilever cable stop on this type of braze on? Is there a specific part I need? Pictures are below.
I built a temporary fix with some odd parts (seen in the picture), but it is not staying in place well and scratching the paint.
