First outing on Russ. Really felt the 26" rims and heavy tyres combination - @clubman you are absolutely right in saying 700c and better rubber will transform the ride quality - hubs and rims on order.
Few details still to sort out
pedals - have some BSA in cleaning/de-rusting process at the moment
stem - on a look out for a clip headset one
brakes - much easier to reach than before,
What do you advice on brake cables - the rear caliper attaches on the right hand side, so shall I move it to come out to the right of the stem? At the moment it seems both front and rear are on the left. Or shall I use continental way, left for front, right for rear? Colour wise I think they kind of match the logo. And yes third top tube cable clip to be added.
