1947 Hobbs of Barbican Clubweight Build and many other old builds

I was delighted to see the finished bike.

One small request, can you use the screw that came with the SA shift lever mount, with the screw head visible from the riders position?

Thanks Big Block.
Unfortunately, I can't get the screw completely in over two coats of bar tape.
I really doesn't look that bad in real life I promise! That photo where you can see the bolt makes it look a bit rough I must admit!
I would like to change the shifter out for an older period style one at some stage so will deal with it then.
I have to say that the honking rubbers are very comfortable on the hands when riding.

Love this 7VEN, such good work - inspirational.
Hope you get many happy miles out of it!
Thanks for sharing the project - look forward to seeing how you get on with the shellac.

Thanks Rik,
Will certainly keep the thread updated with my shellac progress!
