Last weekend, I joyfully stripped and rebuilt the track bike, ahhh the simplicty. This weekend, hydaulic cables, ahhhh.
The chances of cutting the Arkose internal hyraulics and then fitting these to the larger frame are zero. Have a spare cable at the ready and suspect I'll have to take apart the shifters to swap the cables (left rear onto right front/ new cable on left rear).
First impressions, this is a lovely frameset, the tubes are skinnny and doesn't feel heavy. The bronze is nicer than the silver too IMO. Indifferent on the top tube morse code.
First up, heli-taping..
