WTB: Paul Neo-Retro or Touring Canti

Hi all! Finishing off a very cool new Roberts CX build, but I’m short a set of brakes! Anyone got a single neo retro or touring (possibly even a Minimoto!) set to finish this beauty? To be clear, I have some (polished) neo retro brakes on the rear already, I just need another for the front; silver, polished, gold, whatever is going. Thanks heaps!

beautiful bike

Thanks so much! Still torn on whether I run a more modern look with the (currently fitted) grey Ultradynamico tyres and some light bar tape, or go a bit more classic with some Rene Herse tyres and olive brooks leather bar tape which I have kicking about. Decisions!

Proper beaut of a frame that! And the HS is pure win.

What a bike!! Someone help this person finish the build so we can see final pics!!

Very easy to strip black paul cantis to silver with oven cleaner (if like me, you get offered some black ones).

What are the cables?

Probably Nissen/Sim Works

Thanks for the support everyone! Yeah Nissen/Simworks cables and brass cables from the legends at Freshtripe. Huge thanks to @Nef for the hot tip- that opens up a world of options!

Update on the finishing kit- lovely (if cheeky) new top cap from Bentley Components; please someone help me finish this beauty with some Paul brakes! ❤️

Bump cos I'm willing the universe to find these for you

You’re very kind! Finally got out for a test ride yesterday, rolls like a dream and looks good doing it- minus the front brake! 😂 🙏🏼

Looks great. What stem are you using? Cheers!

Thanks so much! It’s a Nitto made stem from SimWorks, I can’t recommend their stuff enough!

That looks superb! Great job. 👏🏽

Sweet bike! I’ve got minimotos and the pull ratio isn’t perfectly compatible with campy shifters, just a heads up.

Thanks! Ahhh that’s really good to know- cheers for the heads up there.
Just about to bite the bullet and order some silver neo-retro’s from BLB, thanks for all the help people! Might send some nicer photos of the build this weekend from up in the Peak District 👌🏼
