My Dawes of (im)Perfection.

Yes, a good thread for us middle aged folk.
The Vainqueurs are a much better brake than the 730s, which I find impossible to adjust for an equal pull.

Whahey! Glad its appreciated, thanks for the brake advice Mr 57Hawkes. Middle aged...pah! I'm still 15 in my brain. :-)

I'll get a couple of cable hangers and try the CP brakes. I think I've lost th rear hanger from the girly bike and the front one is too rusty/manky (even for me). The sub-title to this thread should also be "SS on the cheap and whats to hand".

I'm off on a 44 mile ride today on the interim-finished item, I'll post more picks and the current state its in later.
