I hope someone can help, I'm in the process of building up a vintage bike with period centre pull Mafac Racer brakes and need to find a correct Mafac straddle wire hanger (see pic) I have one for the front but have lost the rear one, has anyone got one stashed somewhere that I could buy? cheers

Ask Hilary Stone via his website, you never know.

I'm fairly sure I've got one of those in the garage somewhere. I'll try to remember to have a look in the morning. if I don't get back to you tomorrow, I may need a gentle reminder.

I've got one on my tatty pub/shopping Porteur I'd be to swap for a repro one if you don't have any luck elsewhere!

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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