My new 'Italian' bicycle

the-smiling-buddha Oh thanks for that tynan, now I see why the frame in the photo has a bit of old cable hanging out of it, I am not sure yet whether I am getting this frame resprayed
but some of that plastic tubing you are talking about sounds like it might come in handy, is it something you can buy...?

The piece that comes with frame above should do the trick, but if you need more - any plastic tubing that is thin enough to go through the holes yet accept the cable should do the trick - I asked for a piece of the stuff Klein used in their frames from a bike shop, they gave me free bit, but Klein are not sold in the UK anymore.
