Oh, also one of the front canti brake bosses sheared off the fork when I got it home while taking the brakes off for a clean/service. It must have got stressed/weakened in India or possibly took a knock on the plane. Thank f*ck they didn’t break out there is all I can say!
Suggestions for a fix? Can either get a new fork, get a new boss brazed back on (Argas frame builders in Bristol, about £40-60 I reckon) or just get a nutted caliper brake and fit that as the fork crown is already drilled. We’ve got canti at the back and a drum brake too so I’m not too worried about stopping power
