Hi.
Just got my Condor 531 Competition frame back from Argos Cycles and it looks superb in battleship grey! The rear wheel has been built up with a Surly flip flop, so I'm almost ready to roll...
Only problem is I've gone about things a bit arse about face and bought some Shimano brake cables before buying any brake levers, not realising that there are different nipples used.
Most bike brakes I've used before have had a cylinder type nipple across the cable but these have a stepped cylinder nipple in line with the cable.
I want some nice vintage alloy levers, so can anyone advise which ones will work with these cables? Will they have to be Shimano too, or are any other makes compatible.
Your wisdom will be much appreciated by me and the Condor fixie-single!
Simon
